While we know that most banks will have an inhouse compliance and audit team, we work hand in hand with these businesses to provide an independent perspective. Some of our clients have been incredibly happy to have our expertise; casting an eye over their banking practices and finding shortfalls that may have been missed. When these companies are operating on a large scale, such shortfalls can cost them millions; take PPI for an example.
Aside from the larger conglomerates, we love nothing better than to provide a financial compliance solution to smaller banks. Obtaining a banking license is fraught with difficulty and we know of only one major high street bank to do so since the financial collapse in 2008. That being said, we also know because that bank did it, it is possible and we as a compliance firm are vital in assisting obtain that license.
