  • Where appropriate, and as agreed in conjunction with the CRO, provide assistance to the business with ensuring that proposed controls are sufficient to meet risk appetite and legal and regulatory requirements.
  • Prepare regular reporting for the CRO on progress against the monitoring plan, key findings from reviews and the status of management actions to address findings.
