§ Services

Three Practices, Grouped by Where Exposure Sits

Rather than a list of separate service lines, our work is organised around where regulatory exposure actually sits in a firm.

01

Governance & Board

For boards and management who need to show a supervisor that oversight happens, not just that it is intended.

What we do
  • Governance frameworks and committee structures
  • Policy architecture and accountability mapping
  • Board and management reporting
  • Inspection and examination readiness
  • Regulatory change governance
02

Risk & Compliance

For compliance and risk functions that need a programme which runs, with owners, controls and evidence.

What we do
  • ISO 31000-aligned enterprise risk management
  • Compliance programmes and obligations registers
  • AML/CFT/CPF frameworks and testing
  • Data protection and NDPA compliance
  • Compliance monitoring, testing and reporting
03

Investment & Risk Due Diligence

Added to any engagement by scope, for decisions where governance and compliance risk needs an independent view.

Typical mandates
  • Capital raises
  • Mergers and acquisitions
  • Investment decisions

§ How we work

Five Stages, Five Deliverables

Most firms enter at Assess. Training-only programmes enter at Implement.

  1. 1

    Assess

    Gap analysis against ISA 2025, SEC rules, AML/CFT/CPF obligations and ISO 31000.

    Deliverable
    • Gap register
    • Prioritised remediation plan
  2. 2

    Design

    Frameworks, policies and controls built around the firm’s licensed activities.

    Deliverable
    • Policy suite
    • Obligations register
    • Control library
  3. 3

    Implement

    Controls embedded with named owners, staff trained, escalation routes tested.

    Deliverable
    • Trained teams
    • Live controls and RACI
  4. 4

    Monitor

    Risk-based monitoring and control testing, reported so the board can act on it.

    Deliverable
    • Monitoring plan
    • Test results
    • Board reporting pack
  5. 5

    Sustain

    Regulatory change tracked, material revalidated, framework refreshed annually.

    Deliverable

§ Track record

What We Were Brought in to Fix, and What Stayed Behind

Client identities are withheld under engagement confidentiality. Named references are provided at proposal stage with the client’s consent.

SEC-registered asset manager

Compliance effort pointed at the wrong risks

Gap analysis, a risk-based compliance management plan, and compliance effort redirected to the firm’s highest-exposure obligations. The firm now runs an obligations register with named owners and monitors against it.

Securities brokerage

Regulatory reporting late and unowned

Rebuilt the reporting calendar, assigned ownership for each return, and added a pre-submission review. Filing timeliness is now a standing metric instead of a post-deadline discovery.

Investment bank

Risk framework disconnected from the board

Redesigned the enterprise risk management framework against SEC requirements and ISO 31000, linking risk appetite, risk register, control testing and board reporting.

Ongoing

Closing out post-completion matters on a private equity transaction for a Nigerian financial services firm, while training its risk and compliance team on the underlying processes.

§ FAQs

Questions Firms Ask Before Engaging

Who will actually do the work?

Segun Ilesanmi directs every engagement personally, from scoping to sign-off. Where a mandate needs extra specialists, associates are added by scope and named to you before they join.

How are fees set?

Every engagement is scoped and fee-agreed in writing before work starts. A Health Check and each training cohort carry a fixed fee. Framework builds run 8–12 weeks on an agreed fee, or as a retainer with a defined monthly commitment.

What happens after the first call?

Within five working days you receive a Health Check proposal with a fixed fee, a fixed duration and defined outputs. If you do not need one, you get a straight answer saying so.

How is our information protected?

An NDA, ours or yours, is signed before information is shared. Client data is held under a documented retention and deletion policy, and a conflict check is confirmed in writing before any engagement is accepted.

§ Next step

The Next Step Is a Forty-five-Minute Call

You describe your activities, your licensed functions and what is currently worrying you. Within five working days you receive a fixed-fee proposal, or a straight answer that you do not need one.
