Ottilie+Blanche provides a niche, regulator-ready service that independently assesses the effectiveness of the third line of defence in delivering robust FCC Internal Audit coverage. Our targeted review scrutinises the audit framework, methodology, and standards to determine whether Internal Audit can demonstrate genuine independence, depth, and foresight in its assurance of financial crime risks. We evaluate the credibility of challenge to business/senior management, the alignment of audit scope to evolving regulatory priorities, and the cultural and risk sensitivity embedded in audit execution. This service enables boards and Audit Committees to demonstrate that Internal Audit delivers not only technical compliance assurance but also strategic insight, strengthening confidence with regulators, investors, and stakeholders.
