In a constantly evolving regulatory and operational landscape, governance and compliance can often become a constraint rather than an opportunity.

Role

Governance and compliance: the key steps

Strengthening governance and compliance is a journey that begins with understanding needs and risks, moves through the definition of operating models and the management of requirements, and concludes with the measurement of results. Using a structured and scalable approach, we build a system aligned with strategic priorities that simplifies compliance, improves control, and makes organisational operations more effective.
Definition of requirements
Analysing regulatory and contextual requirements to fully understand their business impact and define intervention priorities. In this phase, concrete objectives and scopes of application consistent with corporate strategies are established.
Risk assessment
Mapping non-compliance risks, process vulnerabilities, and control gaps, while evaluating the probability and impact of potential violations. This analysis allows for the identification of high-exposure areas and guides subsequent corrective actions.
Framework development
Defining organisational models, processes, and internal provisions consistent with the identified needs, ensuring clarity in roles, formalisation of internal controls, traceability of decisions, and adequate documentation.
Technologies selection
Identifying, selecting, and integrating digital tools that enable the digitalisation and automation of processes and activities. The goal is to reduce processing times, optimise resources, and minimise operational costs.
People engagement
Promoting a culture of governance and compliance through communication, awareness, and training initiatives. It is essential to make employees aware of their roles and the associated responsibilities within the organisational model.
Framework adoption
Ensuring that the defined organisation, processes, and provisions are effectively applied in daily operations. We intervene to prevent misalignments between formal structures and operational practices by acting on responsibilities, flows, and interactions between the various parties involved.
Compliance management
Operationally monitoring and managing adherence to regulatory deadlines and compliance obligations. This activity includes collecting necessary documents, timely verification of activities, and continuous updates on regulatory news, partly through digital services.
Measurement and reporting
Defining and adopting indicators and control mechanisms to measure the effectiveness of the safeguards implemented. Results are documented in structured reports to support management and supervisory bodies, fostering continuous system improvement.
All the benefits of the internal control system

Adopting an internal control system allows you to:

  • Make the company more robust and compliant
  • Protect the company's reputation
  • Increase stakeholder trust
  • Foster innovation securely
  • Strengthen operational continuity
  • Reduce response times to emergencies
