Paracas-Advisors focuses on four key control functions and activities:
in financial services, and more particularly in the insurance sector.
We deliver three services
through social media (website, LinkedIn, YouTube…), Paracas-Advisors GmbH disseminates free “nuggets” of information and experience.
we identify and connect with other valuable experts and sources of information, and create a constructive dialogue on good practices and new business or regulatory developments.
we advise corporate leadership in building stronger control practices and functions, and ethical culture.
we coach internal audit, risk and compliance leaders and we support them in their transformation journeys. We join company meetings and offsites to speak and dialogue on control functions, operational risks and leadership culture.
Based on our experience, we
develop and share concepts for
audit, governance, compliance and
operational risk management,
We keep learning from public cases
of control failures.
We go beyond control and
governance design, and we focus on
the practical delivery and effective
impact of audit, compliance, risk and
governance systems in financial
services. We share practical tips and
practices.
The efficiency of control functions and a performant governance are
largely driven by quality of the
function holders. We imagine
solutions to further improve the
excellence of control eaders and
their teams.
Defining Maturity models for the Internal Audit and Compliance functions
Meeting the “standards”, as defined externally (IIA, PS980, etc.) is often not good enough. How to be more advanced, or even excellent? How to measure it and on which dimensions?
Guiding to a Risk prioritization
With the increasing number of regulatory demands, and the accumaltion of crisis, how shall a CCO and a CAE design an Complinace or Audit strategy, best support the stakeholders of the functions?
Managing Talents in Control functions
Hiring and performance criteria for control function leaders are often not well understood by its stakeholders. How to hire and keep the best, from where, how to compensate and development them?
