What We Do

Diagnose.
Architect. Evidence.

Three disciplines. One outcome. We identify your obligations, build the framework that satisfies them, and generate the documented proof that stands up to scrutiny.

Diagnose

Obligation mapping and exposure review across FCA, CSRD and Modern Slavery Act

Architect

Governance frameworks and compliance policies built to satisfy regulators under scrutiny

Evidence

Audit trails and compliance reports that prove what you have done to anyone who asks

Diagnose

Know Exactly Where You Stand Before a Regulator Does

Your current ESG social responsibility posture is mapped against FCA obligations, CSRD extraterritorial reach, and Modern Slavery Act requirements. We identify gaps with board-reportable risk ratings so you know exactly what you are holding and what it would cost you if the FCA selected your firm tomorrow.

Most organisations have a partial picture of their obligations at best. They know they should be doing something. They are less certain about exactly what, by when, and to what standard. That uncertainty is itself a regulatory risk. We find the exposure before the regulator does, and we tell you exactly what we find.

Typical Timeline

3 to 6 week initial assessment, with a follow-on recommendation report included.

Architect

Build the Framework That Stands Up When It Has To

Not a policy document. A defensible compliance architecture: your Vulnerable Customer Programme, your Anti-Greenwashing substantiation file, your ESRS-aligned disclosure framework, your supply chain risk map. Designed to hold up under Section 166 scrutiny. Built to satisfy investor due diligence.

A compliance framework that looks good on paper but cannot withstand regulatory scrutiny is not a framework. It is a liability waiting to surface. The FCA has made clear that Consumer Duty and related obligations require genuine, embedded governance. We build what regulators actually look for, not what feels comfortable to produce internally.

What You Receive

Governance framework designed to satisfy FCA Consumer Duty, CSRD or Modern Slavery Act obligations
Bespoke policies and internal procedures written to regulatory standard and reviewed for enforceability
Accountability mapping that assigns clear ownership at board and operational level for each obligation
Internal control testing schedule to confirm the framework is operating as designed
Board briefing pack confirming framework scope, obligations covered and implementation status
Governance framework review
€150M
CSRD Exposure Managed
Who It Is For

Financial services firms, listed businesses, PE-backed companies and government contractors facing live regulatory obligations.

Typical Timeline

6 to 10 week build phase, with a 12 month implementation support retainer available.

Evidence

Prove What You Have Done in Terms That Regulators Accept

Board papers. Audit-ready documentation. Social claims registers. Investor-grade reporting. Everything your regulators, shareholders, and independent auditors require, produced, structured, and signed off at board level.

Having a compliance framework in place is not the same as being able to demonstrate that it is working. Regulators want audit trails. Investors want proof. We make your compliance visible to the people who need to see it, in terms they will accept. The regulators do not grade on effort. They grade on evidence.

What You Receive

Compliance evidence report demonstrating adherence to each applicable regulatory obligation
Audit trail documentation covering governance decisions, policy applications and control outputs
Modern Slavery Act statement drafted, reviewed and ready for publication at board approval
CSRD or sustainability disclosure report aligned to applicable reporting standards and regulatory timelines
Board-level summary confirming obligations addressed, evidence produced and outstanding items resolved
Compliance documentation and evidence review

Who It Is For
