Expert management of regulatory scrutiny

Engage GCCcomp to empower you to become more effective and efficient at managing regulatory scrutiny and responding to peer pressure with confidence.

The challenge for organisations -

i. Regulatory actions on the rise resulting in business disruption, operational impact, restrictions, fines, and senior management personal liability.                                                                                                   

ii. Poor or no preparation for scrutiny resulting in failure to understand and meet regulatory expectations, inability to demonstrate actual risk exposure, and failure to demonstrate and articulate proportionality of controls.

iii. Inadequate response to scrutiny caused by overreaction resulting in high costs, underestimation of direct and indirect costs and timing of the response, and controls that are not designed to be proportionate with actual risk exposure.

iv. Lack of guidance and validation in managing complex situations due to overreliance on inexperienced staff, absence of an external independent advisor or engagement of unsuitable advisors.

GCCcomp driven solution – Balanced response to regulatory scrutiny

i. Understand and respond effectively to the regulator’s expectations – demonstrate proactive engagement and timely, well-prepared responses to regulatory communication.

ii. Stand ready for scrutiny – by prioritising preparation over reactive measures and by implementing proactive solutions based on a clear understanding of the risk exposure.

iii. Manage effectively and efficiently your response to scrutiny – anticipate potential concerns and risks, and develop a credible, evidence-based defence.                                         

iv. Take control of the narrative – by shifting from a defensive stance to a constructive one and ultimately leading the conversation to build credibility. Obtain professional advice from specialists skilled in regulatory engagement and mediation.
