ICAAP & Capital Adequacy
We offer our expertise to Investment Firms seeking to meet their Internal Capital Adequacy and Risk Assessment (ICARA) & Capital Adequacy requirements according to updated compliance regulations.
It is a requirement for Investment Firms to have procedures and controls in place in order to monitor and assess their capital levels to ensure the continuation of business activities against predicted risk exposures, according to the most recent compliance regulations in effect.
Beyond the necessity for capital adequacy supervision by the regulatory authorities, the Internal Capital Adequacy and Risk Assessment (ICARA) acts to the best interests of all internal and external stakeholders of an investment firm. In addition to the fact that it is required for every investment firm to prepare on an annual basis, the implementation of an ICARA fortifies a firm’s risk management and position by detecting possible risks early on and allowing the firm to develop countermeasures in an appropriate manner.
Deneo Partners have extensive knowledge and experience in this sector to advise and collaborate with clients for them to prepare for these ICARA and capital adequacy requirements and provide all necessary reports.
Some of the areas of specialization of Deneo Partners:
- Assistance with the preparation of Capital Adequacy forms and reports
- Composition of company-tailored ICARA documents and projections
- Review of current processes and methods in place for ICARA and capital adequacy management, and proposal of improvements, consistent with the firm’s financial risk strategies
- Advice on relevant regulatory requirements
Outsourced Compliance
We can take over or assign for you qualified individuals to outsource your compliance function to meet your regulatory obligations.
Deneo Partners can offer its compliance services as an outsourced compliance officer, or alternatively locate fit and proper compliance officers to assign to firms seeking to outsource their compliance function, particularly to Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) licensed and regulated brokers.
Based on the new regulations and the Code on Outsourcing of Compliance Function revised and published earlier this year, the company’s Compliance Officer will need to be located and based in the Seychelles and meet certain requirements.
The company can employ a local outsourced Compliance Officer who needs to be approved by the FSA or to outsource its compliance function to an approved by the FSA Service Provider, which Deneo Partners is qualified to provide.
Some of the areas of specialization of Deneo Partners:
- Ensure compliance with local laws, regulations and directives
- Report to the broker’s board of directors any developments impacting the outsourced compliance functions
- Oversee the execution of internal policies and procedures, ensuring employee adherence
- Provide compliance and AML advice as needed
