• Enterprise risk management and risk appetite
• Risk registers, scoring and review cycles
• Board and management assurance reporting
• Internal controls review and gap analysis

• Internal compliance audit programmes
• Operational and supplier audits
• Mock regulatory inspections
• Corrective action programmes
• Follow-up verification and close-out
