Consulting
 At proFound Consulting our regulatory compliance experts are seasoned professionals who have a thorough knowledge of

analyse and define compliance governance structure(s) that align with the entity’s unique operations. We follow a risk based approach
to ensure that limited resources are optimally deployed.
 We define compliance risk as the risk that controls implemented to ensure compliance to relevant laws, regulations and supervisory
requirements, are not adhered to and/or are inefficient and ineffective.
 When /if compliance risk materializes (i.e. a lapse of controls), it gives rise to regulatory risk - the risk that institutions do not comply
with applicable laws and regulations or supervisory requirements or the exclusion of provisions of relevant legislation out of operational
procedures. The effects of this risk may have an impact on either or both of:
 Reputational risk - the risk that the entity might be exposed to negative publicity due to the contravention of applicable statutory,
regulatory and supervisory requirements by the entity or its staff members during the conduct of business
 Monetary loss – due to penalties incurred or claims against the entity Laws, regulations and supervisory requirements include laws,
regulations, rules, self-regulatory organisation standards and codes of conduct – we collectively refer to these as regulatory
requirements.
Our particular areas of expertise include:
 Advice on sustainable implementation / re-design of the compliance function that is aligned with management’s strategic direction
 Sound, risk based framework to derive customized compliance risk profiles, risk management plans and key risk indicators
