Monitorships & Independent Oversight
Our trusted, independent monitorship and oversight services help global organizations meet regulatory obligations, ensure compliance and restore stakeholder confidence after enforcement actions, while also proactively evaluating and enhancing the effectiveness of compliance programs.
Organizations of every size and in every industry are subject to regulatory actions that may require the appointment of an independent monitor or consultant.
We deploy our professionals and technology resources in a tailored manner to be responsive to work plan priorities, enable effective assessments and feedback, control costs, and minimize disruption to the organization.
In matters where independence and objectivity are required, our team is diligent in evaluating and maintaining our autonomy while providing high-quality service and a flexible approach. We understand the importance of being clear in our communications and have developed a strong reputation for being fair and balanced in our analyses and appropriately focused and practical in our recommendations.
Whether we are acting as the independent monitor, or assisting already appointed monitors, our integrated global team of senior compliance experts and industry specialists helps global organizations:
Ensure credible, independent oversight
Validate remediation and corrective actions
Reduce legal and reputational risk

Monitorship Services
Ensure compliance, remediation and control effectiveness under regulatory or court oversight. We serve as — or support — independent monitors, examiners and receivers following misconduct findings or settlement agreements, conducting policy and process reviews, interviewing key personnel and performing transaction testing to verify that corrective actions are implemented, controls are operating as intended and risks are being mitigated.
