Strong governance is essential for the success of regulated firms. It guides firms towards the right strategic path and ensures accountability in risk management and controls. It also gives confidence to investors and regulators that the firm is in capable hands. Senior Managers are responsible for this critical role, while facing the challenges of ever-changing regulations, difficult economic climate, and emerging risks. There is much to learn on an ongoing basis with limited time and considerable scrutiny.
Tesaka can support Senior Managers by providing board training and guidance on key regulatory intervention points:
SMF interviews – Training, mock interviews and advice on suitability of potential CXOs.
Board training – Technical subjects including:
Board effectiveness reviews – Scenario workshops to assess balance of board skills.
Advice on correspondence – Interpret letters from the regulators and assistance in drafting a response.
Governance review – Assessment of decision making, Management Information, committee structures and terms of reference.
Fire drill exercises – Desktop or live test of the recovery plan including playbook, crisis MI and recovery options.
