Building an effective and efficient Compliance Program requires a precise plan that allows for the appropriate risk-reward balance. GRA’s breadth of expertise in this area can pave the way in creating and implementing a plan that meets the uniqueness of a firm’s DNA. Whether the operation is a startup or the goal is to re-engineer an existing Compliance Program, GRA’s perspective is unparalleled.

The asset management industry is a specialty arena that requires vast knowledge, insight, and education in order to make informed, low-risk decisions. Business decisions that result in selecting the wrong third party vendor can be costly and take years to unwind. Assessing operational risk in the asset management industry is GRA's forte. GRA considers the operational strength of a firm, age and sophistication of technology in place, service level commitment, and culture of compliance when evaluating vendors.
