Q&A with Andrew Glessing, Head of Regulatory Compliance & Risk
What’s the biggest headache facing clients?
The need to provide timely and accurate regulatory reporting remains one of the most burdensome and highest risk challenges for asset and wealth managers. Keeping pace with regulators' demands can seem like running to keep still at times. And at the same time, businesses have to show that they have effective governance and risk management in place and complete oversight and control.
How can they manage the burden most effectively?
Putting the right methodologies in place without disrupting day-to-day operations is key. Our team has worked with most of the major players in the market and is incredibly well-versed in creating practical action plans to improve risk management and compliance.
How does new technology make a difference?
There’s a wealth of new technology out there that helps us manage data more effectively which is a big part of creating a more compliant organisation.
But the landscape of vendors is complex in itself and requires experience to make the best choices. Having worked with most major vendors and having implemented the technology as well as recommended a certain system or platform, we understand what will be the best fit with any clients particular circumstances.
