Services
Should you be interested in any of these services, we would appreciate an opportunity to set up a convenient time to discuss how Grace CSI might support your current needs and ongoing success.
Fractional CCOs/CROs
A fractional Chief Compliance Officer or Chief Risk Officer is a consultant or contractor who provides part-time or project-based compliance or risk management services. Fractional CCOs/CROs are becoming increasingly popular, especially among small and mid-sized companies that cannot afford a full-time CCO/CRO or do not have the resources to manage a program in-house. There are several reasons an organization may consider retaining a fractional CCO/CRO: cost, flexibility, expertise, objectivity, and independence. By retaining one, an organization might not need to hire a compliance or risk officer, or even maintain a full-time employee dedicated to compliance or risk management, to meet all regulatory compliance and risk requirements.
Interim Compliance/Risk Staffing
Whether you need to fill a short-term project need (including project management), or are looking for a transition to something more permanent, we are happy to assist on an interim basis or to help you find the right full-time employee to meet your requirements.
Regulatory Reviews
We have experience with a wide range of Canadian and international regulators. If you are preparing for a regulatory review, or are implementing recommendations from one, we can assist in project management, dealing with regulators, and undertaking corrective measures.
Designing and Building Structures and Programs
We can assist in developing appropriate governance structures (Board, senior management) and reasonable effective compliance and risk management programs depending on the size of your organization.
Developing and Managing Policies and Procedures
Often, policies are put in place to satisfy regulatory requirements but do not reflect an organization’s business or requirements. We can assist with the development and reasonable testing of these policies and procedures.
Independent Assurance
We can provide an independent lens on your compliance and risk management programs in keeping with regulatory and Board requirements.
Legal and Corporate Secretarial Support
From drafting agreements to preparing and reviewing Boards materials, we can provide the support you need while you’re running your business.
