By Ian Wilson, Senior Vice President of GRC Business Development EMEA at CLDigital
CLDigital is delighted to announce that we have joined The Investment Association (IA) as an Affiliate Member. CLDigital has supported numerous IA members with their Business Continuity, Crisis and Disaster Recovery Management, and wider Risk Management frameworks for several years.
The IA is an advocacy group for UK investment management firms to support British savers, investors and businesses. Their 250 full members collectively manage £9.1 trillion on behalf of clients in the UK and around the world. Their mission is “to make investment better. Better for clients, so they achieve their financial goals. Better for companies, so they get the capital they need to grow. And better for the
economy, so everyone prospers.” The highly experienced IA Board and team of Policy Advisors work closely with their members, regulators, and other trade associations, to ensure they meet their goals and mission.
With the recent implementation of both the UK Operational Resilience regime and the EU’s Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), a growing number of investment management firms are utilizing CLDigital to enhance their Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) frameworks and embrace regulatory compliance. Increasing pressure and regulation from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and wider global jurisdictions, is forcing investment management firms to significantly adopt, improve, and streamline their GRC controls, including DORA, Operational Resilience and Risk Management, Business Continuity and Third-Party Risk Management, SMCR (Senior Managers & Certification Regime), and much more.
CLDigital is proud to support our current clients and a growing number of IA members with industry leading GRC software, and provide best practices, guidance, and thought leadership to help firms confidently navigate and comply with the ever-changing regulatory landscape.
CLDigital is Headline Sponsor at the forthcoming IA Resilience Forum event in London on 8th July, where we will actively participate with resilience practitioners and other thought leaders. We’re very much looking forward to working in partnership with the IA to help support their members’ best interests.
