Three stages which included the following background:
We advise the world’s leading financial organisations (retail banking, insurance, investment management and wholesale and capital markets) and public sector clients throughout the UK and overseas. Our work isn’t about providing ‘off-the shelf’ solutions or systems implementation; our consultants focus on helping our clients identify and solve their most complex business issues. Risk issues are of great importance to clients and risk management competencies are critical in the delivery of strategic change. As an indispensable part of Advisory, FS Risk contributes substantially to projects that call for a range of advisory skills.
What will I be doing?
You will need to think of yourself as a Consultant rather than a graduate if you join us. This means playing a key role in one of our teams: generating direction through analysis and research, conducting client interviews, and helping to develop proposals and recommendations.
On joining the firm you will be assigned to your initial competency group. Over the next two years you will have the opportunity to second to other competency groups to ensure that you identify the area where you want to drive your career forward. This will ensure you gain experience from at least 2 of the five following competency groups within FS Risk:
Regulatory Advisory
The Regulatory Advisory competency team deals with strategic implications of regulation, effective implementation of new requirements and identification, management and remediation of regulatory risks and issues. The team focuses on conduct of business regulation – both consumer and market-facing – Anti-Money Laundering/financial crime, governance and systems of control.
Prudential, Regulation and Treasury (PR&T)
Much of the work of PR&T is supporting clients through the current changes to international/UK prudential regulation, in addition to providing related treasury advice. The people of PR&T are technical specialists in the fields of Prudential (financial) regulation, treasury, capital management / planning and liquidity risk management.
Enterprise Risk Management
The Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) team helps clients adopt a strategic approach to managing risk: promoting a culture of accountability from top to bottom, strengthening the effectiveness of risk oversight, improving the communication of risk information, and integrating risk management processes across risk categories and asset classes.
