Risk & Compliance

Companies face increasingly complex anti-bribery regulations and standards (FCPA, UKBA, Sapin II, the ISO 37001 standard, etc.) while regulators simultaneously enforce these laws with greater cross-border rigour and coordination. Organizations and their counsels rely on us to help evaluate and enhance compliance programs, including addressing the expectations of stakeholders (regulatory bodies, business partners, etc.) regarding internal controls and continuous monitoring. We incorporate each client’s challenges into our approach in order to offer customized solutions, assisting organizations and their counsels in implementing programs and measuring their effectiveness.

Financial crime has a devastating impact on businesses, undermining the development of economies and their stability. Regulators across the globe have looked to the Financial Services (FS) industry to serve as the “guardians at the gate” to fight financial crime. In the face of increasingly active regulators, compliance costs have skyrocketed but the overall amount of illicit funds laundered remains largely unchanged. To improve compliance, scale operations and control costs, financial institutions need a tech-enabled, cost-effective and sustainable solution to mitigate financial crime risks. Using our deep industry knowledge and actionable expertise, FTI Consulting helps our clients make sound decisions about the strategic, operational and technology aspects of their financial crime risk management programs.

Demonstrating good corporate governance, including addressing stakeholder needs, is key to the success of organizations. Good governance requires transparency and helps ensure that organizations achieve their strategic plans while promoting accountability and social responsibility. Our GIAC services assist organizations to ensure best practice governance frameworks are in place, are consistently monitored and are enhanced where necessary.

Most corporations face scrutiny from regulatory bodies (Ontario Securities Commission, Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, etc.), which expect effective compliance programs to be in place. In some cases, companies must comply with mandated regulatory settlements that require independent monitoring. These ongoing challenges demand an operating environment that includes robust internal controls and continually upgraded compliance policies.

Global organizations rely on us for trusted, independent expert guidance. Our senior industry specialists and compliance experts are widely recognized for their approach to testing, enhancing and monitoring corporate compliance programs. In matters involving allegations of fraud and/or corruption, or relating to other types of malfeasance, we assist our clients in implementing an action plan and communicating with their stakeholders.

Organizations in every geography and industry sector face a wide variety of strategic, financial, operational and compliance-related risks. These risks relate to business strategies, initiatives, processes, people, data and technology, as well as to external conditions such as market forces, regulation, enforcement trends and stakeholder activism. Such risks can adversely affect many areas within an organization and can arise from anything from financial performance to bribery and corruption, not to mention shortcomings around diversity and inclusion.

Clients engage FTI Consulting to develop strong enterprise risk management (ERM) strategies and programs that identify and manage these risks, evaluate risks versus rewards, and turn risks into opportunities. Learn More

Global supply chains have experienced an unprecedented range of disruptions in recent years, severely impacting the ability of companies to source, produce and distribute products and services. Strategic thinking has evolved from “supply chain as a limited function” to one of a “whole-of-company” approach to the supply chain value proposition. This expansion and the burgeoning risks associated with it have shifted the focus from ever-greater efficiencies to managing and mitigating supply chain risk and building resiliency.

Today’s supply chains face myriad risks ranging from increased lead times to non-performing suppliers. FTI Consulting partners with you to assess your current supply chain risks, quickly uncover the root causes and develop the right mitigation strategies to de-risk and transform your supply chain operations.
