Capital markets
In today's fast moving capital markets, regulatory expectations are rising - and brokers are under pressure to prove control, governance and resilience. Whether you're scaling operations, adapting to MiFID or dealing with scrutiny from the regulator, your ability to grow depends on the strength of your compliance maturity. We help you benchmark where you stand, close the gaps and lead with confidence.
How we help
We understand the pressures facing brokerage firms, whether it is keeping pace with FCA expectations on governance, reporting and personal accountability, managing market abuse risk and surveillance obligations, strengthening systems and controls ahead of inspections or audits and scaling operations while maintaining regulatory compliance. We align our services to key moments in your compliance journey:
- Launching or restructuring your brokerage? Get authorised and set a strong foundation. We help you launch with a regulator ready platform and long term credibility.
- Growing or undergoing review? Prove your maturity and readiness for scrutiny with a compliance healthcheck or SMCR audit, governance and control enhancements.
- Facing regulatory pressure or change? Demonstrate control with remediation support and assurance reviews, enforcement response and regulatory liaison. You regain control, protect reputation and future proof operations.
