Regulated Business
Services

Your trusted partner in compliance.

Overview

Overview

We work with a wide range of regulated businesses from individuals to global financial institutions, helping them navigate complex international and local regulations.

We’re a trusted advisor, supporting everything from resolving contentious issues to delivering multi-year programmes that strengthen governance, risk and compliance functions.

When legal advice is needed, we work closely with our legal teams so you have access to leading expertise across our jurisdictions.

Compliance Framework and Function Reviews

We provide independent assurance of your compliance framework, including documentation such as the Compliance Monitoring Plan, mapped against regulatory requirements.

Application Support

We help clients applying for or expanding regulatory approvals, offering insight into regulators’ expectations and how to manage the process successfully.

Financial Crime

We review and advise on AML, CFT, CPF and sanctions obligations, delivering risk-focused financial crime reviews to meet local internal audit requirements.

Internal audit adds value by improving governance, risk management and control processes. It’s recognised by regulators and businesses worldwide, but not every organisation needs a full-time function.

Our internal audit services are designed by professionals with strong audit and regulatory expertise and can be used in several scenarios:

  • Regulator-driven audits: We act as your outsourced internal audit function, tailoring programmes to meet regulatory needs.
  • Group-driven audits: We co-source with in-house teams, providing resources or subject matter expertise where needed.
  • Event-driven audits: We design targeted audits following incidents to support good governance and board oversight.
  • Resource availability: We provide high-quality internal audit expertise on secondment, contract or day-rate basis.

Due Diligence

We provide buy- and sell-side due diligence for regulated businesses, highlighting key regulatory issues.

Retained Expert Advice

We offer ongoing, confidential support on governance, risk and compliance , often following interim or strategic engagements.

Interim Resource

We supply interim resource for key roles or projects, matching expertise and cultural fit.

Regulatory Updates

We deliver regular updates on developments in our core jurisdictions (Cayman, Guernsey and Jersey), focusing on what you need to do.

Cyber and Data

We review and test data protection and cyber-security arrangements, advising on enhancements and compliance with cross-border rules.
