As MiFID affects every part of the business differently, the complexity of MIFID projects requires an effective governance structure to minimise errors of omission or duplication and to maximise the business benefit gained from organisation-wide change.

However, many institutions, even at the larger end of the scale, have found that they face resource constraints, and are lacking specialist skills in core areas as they move down the path to implementation.

Leveraging our MIFID expertise and our broad market knowledge, our Programme Management Office helps to plug these gaps, providing:

• Quality assurance assessing your MiFID programme against industry norms
• A third party perspective on the impact of MIFID on the peer group
• An independent review on whether your programme has the right focus
• Reassurance that key issues have been identified and are being addressed in a timely fashion
• Independent assessment of progress across all business functions and multiple jurisdictions

We have significant experience and a methodology for managing multi-jurisdictional MIFID projects and the challenges that they bring.  We know how to deliver a structured and consistent approach to MIFID which will reduce the long term costs of compliance and ensure that you make the most of the business opportunities arising from regulatory change.
