GAIRUS program
Governance Appraise, Inform, Review & Update Service (GAIRUS) program
How long does it take to review a policy?
The last 18 months have been unprecedented. Each of us, on a personal and professional basis, has had to deal with uncertainty and change in how we live our lives. In such times, how companies are governed and managed assumes much greater importance. Policies and procedures must be robust, up to the challenge and flexible to the circumstances, and boards need to make decisions that take account of short and long-term considerations and risk.
Often while we struggle to get back to normal (whatever that is) we remember the forgotten actions and activities that were put on the back-burner during the successive lockdowns and comparative freedoms.
“The governance framework scheduled reviews are, for many firms, a casualty of neglect and when you start to draw that line in the sand, you start to realise what a daunting task it can be.”
What has changed? What has been introduced? Was it Best Practice or a requirement? What were the Finalised Guidance lessons and statements? Was that last Policy Statement implemented?
How long will it take to review all those policies and what should I be doing instead? Monitoring transactions and sales? Compliance Monitoring Plan scheduled activities? Staffing issues, holidays, FCA responses, AML checks, MLRO reviews, Board Meetings, PI Insurance, Studying, mentoring, recording my reasonable steps; where does it all end?
