Compliance Services for Professional Firms

Grainger Consulting has unique knowledge and experience relating to professional firms. Depending on specific details, professional firms can include accountancy firms and law firms. Grainger Consulting is geared to help. We can provide advice and hands-on assistance with many of the technical and compliance issues relating to Institute of Chartered Accountant in England and Wales (ICAEW) and Law Society regulations.

External compliance monitoring

We assist our clients in a very practical way by helping them carry out the regular compliance risk and resource assessments necessary to demonstrate the required level of senior management control of their business. We will then help them to implement appropriate compliance monitoring programmes supplemented by regular external monitoring by Grainger Consulting. This ensures that internal monitoring is robust and provides good quality control.

Regulatory consultancy

Firms frequently face business decisions where an incorrect or incomplete grasp of the rules can result in actions that have serious regulatory implications. We will help by being available to attend and contribute to senior management discussions relating to major issues. We will consider the business objective and advise the optimum action to achieve it in a compliant fashion. We frequently help our clients to get key decisions right first time.

Liaison with regulators

On a significant number of occasions we assist our clients by handling, on their behalf, discussions or consultations with their respective regulator. Sometimes we are able to do so on a "no names" basis. This enables us to explore issues and clarify what will or will not be acceptable to a regulator.
