Compliance

How we help

Leading organisations depend on Byrne Ó Cléirigh to underpin the effectiveness and performance of their compliance programmes. We advise them on the most practical, robust and sustainable solutions to their compliance needs. We also enable them to go beyond simple compliance. We add value by developing bespoke approaches for tackling complex challenges and by focusing on reducing the life-cycle cost of compliance. As a result, we help our clients develop and defend their competitive positions.

We understand legislation and are skilled in documenting requirements. We track the latest changes to legislation, regulations, standards, codes and guidance, and closely monitor ‘pipeline’ developments.

We also work with regulators to develop and implement business processes for risk-based compliance frameworks and quality assurance schemes.
