Components

1. Comprehensive Supervisory Control Review We evaluate your Written Supervisory Procedures (WSPs), escalation processes, and surveillance systems to ensure alignment with SEC, FINRA, and MSRB expectations. By identifying control gaps, outdated workflows, or process bottlenecks, we help your firm strengthen oversight at every level. 2. Operational Risk Assessment & Workflow Mapping We review trading operations, account onboarding, exception processing, and cross‑functional workflows to identify vulnerabilities across operational lines. This includes evaluating systems such as Actimize, Catalyst, or other exceptions‑based surveillance tools. 3.

Our approach supports durable readiness and reduces the risk of findings, ensuring smooth navigation of regulator inquiries. 4.
