Value-creating control functions – structure that drives performance
Value-creating control functions
– structure that drives performance
Control functions form a central part of the financial sector’s ability to create long-term value. By combining independent review with strategic support, control functions such as risk management, compliance, and internal audit contribute both to meeting regulatory requirements and to strengthening the business model and customer trust.
A well-anchored and effective governance of these control functions is therefore crucial to ensure stable and sustainable value creation over time, in a rapidly changing market.
- Methodical and structured
Through clear processes, documented methods, and consistent quality control, control functions ensure that risk assessments and recommendations remain comparable over time. This provides the company with predictability, transparency, and a solid foundation for strategic decision-making.
- Flexible and adaptable
Despite a stable methodology, control functions can quickly adjust their analyses and recommendations as markets evolve, new regulatory requirements emerge, or as the client’s business develops. This adaptability ensures relevance and enables the company to act on up-to-date information.
- Focus on material risks
By prioritizing the risks that have the greatest impact on the business and its customers, such as financial, operational, or technological risks, resources are not spent on less critical issues. This helps the company focus its attention and resources on what truly threatens long-term value.
- Business-aligned
The work of the control function is an integrated part of the company’s business model, processes, and culture. Recommendations and controls are formulated to be practically applicable and to support the organisation’s specific goals, enabling the company to turn advice into tangible improvements.
- Monitoring external developments
By continuously monitoring regulatory changes, technological trends, and industry practices, control functions can provide early guidance and identify new opportunities. This proactive approach strengthens the company’s ability to stay ahead and build competitive advantages.
