An independent finance and risk advisory firm. We support banks, insurers and asset managers on governance, models, regulatory compliance and transformation — aligned with the standards of financial institutions.
Your transformation projects call for reinforcing the risk management framework, steering financial projections, allocating resources more effectively and controlling costs. Since the financial crisis, the prudential framework — Basel and its finalisation, FRTB, ICAAP/ILAAP and ORSA requirements, the SREP supervisory review — has only raised the bar.
Our conviction: the value of a framework lies not in its complexity but in its clarity. We turn demanding environments into documented, auditable frameworks your teams can own — conflict-free, serving your decision alone.
Our added value: a senior outside view on your organisation, projects that are strengthened and secured, and support for teams throughout change.
From regulatory requirements to operational frameworks — end-to-end support.
Corporate and investment banking, commercial banking, retail banking and specialised financial services.
Insurance companies: governance, models and compliance.
Asset managers, investment funds and financial markets.
We also work with African financial institutions and development organisations — central banks of the WAEMU zone, IFC (World Bank Group): financial risk and treasury management, risk appetite and ICAAP, stress-testing and training.
It means supporting financial institutions in measuring, steering and controlling their risks (credit, market, liquidity, operational), in allocating their financial resources and in complying with the prudential framework (Basel, FRTB, ICAAP/ILAAP, ORSA, SREP).
ICAAP (Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process) assesses capital adequacy against incurred risks; ILAAP (Internal Liquidity Adequacy Assessment Process) does the same for liquidity. Both feed the SREP supervisory review.
The FRTB (Fundamental Review of the Trading Book) overhauls market-risk capital requirements: a new boundary between the trading and banking books, a revised standardised approach and an internal model (IMA) based on expected shortfall. Its implementation mobilises the business, risk and IS functions alike.
BCBS 239 sets the principles for risk data aggregation and reporting: governance, quality, completeness and timeliness of data. Its implementation underpins the reliability of prudential and management reporting.
An independent advisor brings a senior outside view, free of conflicts of interest: the direct involvement of an expert throughout the engagement, projects that are secured and strengthened, and support for teams through change — rather than work intermediated by junior profiles.
