Third-party investigative audits

Investigations often extend to third-party issues. Our teams provide independent reviews to assess transactions, internal controls, and compliance with contractual obligations that can provide insights into third-party activities and the risks they present. We help clients evaluate their controls, ensuring that third-party partners are adhering to regulatory standards, and that systemic risk exposures are addressed and risk mitigation strategies are enhanced.

Programme remediation and monitorships

With proven experience as court- and regulator-appointed independent consultants and monitors, we effectively assess compliance with settlement agreements. Regulators and government entities trust us to deliver effective monitoring and implement necessary action plans.

Third-party risk management

Control Risks works alongside its clients to design, implement, and, when necessary, operate third-party risk management (TPRM) programmes. Our expertise spans programme assessments, the development and enhancement of frameworks, creation of internal workflows and questionnaires, and the integration of data and technology components. We also offer managed services—either for specific projects or as part of ongoing operational support. Find out more >
