Working with the regulator
Helping you get the best possible results when the regulator calls
• Take stock of the state of your organisation
• Present yourself in the best possible light
• Empirical evidence to support what you think is happening
Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. Yes, it’s a cliché but it rings so true when it comes to visits from the regulator.
Whatever sector you work in, it makes sense to be in a state of permanent readiness for inspection.
That means connecting the executive leadership with preparation plans – throughout preparations, not just at the last minute. It means taking steps to ensure that you have the empirical evidence to support what you think is happening across your organisation. And it means knowing what to expect from an inspection and being ready to answer the regulator’s questions.
GGI can help you pinpoint what evidence you need to gather. We offer coaching to help you and your staff present your case as strongly as possible. And we can support your efforts to implement key actions arising from inspections. Our assessment goes beyond the board to the entire workforce, helping to ensure ward-to-board assurance.
