MAS Risk Management Framework & Policy Development
We help financial institutions in Singapore implement MAS-compliant risk frameworks and policies. Whether applying for a license or enhancing governance, our solutions align with regulatory requirements and business needs. With expertise in MAS rules and best practices, we ensure your framework is compliant and effective.
MAS places strong emphasis on effective risk governance as a foundation for financial stability and institutional resilience. Having a robust risk management framework is not just a regulatory requirement — it’s a critical tool for safeguarding your business from financial, operational, reputational, and compliance risks.
MAS guidelines (such as those under the Guidelines on Risk Management Practices, Technology Risk Management, and AML/CFT) require financial institutions to:
Identify, assess, and manage key business risks
Establish clear policies, escalation protocols, and internal controls
Maintain oversight from senior management and board-level committees
Align risk practices with the nature, scale, and complexity of the business
Conduct regular reviews and updates of the risk framework
Failure to meet these standards can result in licensing delays, compliance findings, or regulatory sanctions.
We develop comprehensive risk management frameworks that align with MAS requirements, your business model, and industry standards. This includes identifying risk types, defining control measures, setting risk appetites, and establishing governance structures.
We craft MAS-compliant policies covering operational risk, technology risk, liquidity risk, credit risk, and AML/CFT, tailored to your firm’s structure, size, and services.
We assist in structuring appropriate oversight mechanisms, including risk committees, reporting lines, and accountability matrices, to meet MAS’s expectations for corporate governance.
Our consultants perform thorough risk assessments and control gap analyses to evaluate your existing risk practices and highlight areas for enhancement.
We help implement periodic monitoring processes, risk registers, escalation protocols, and incident reporting mechanisms to keep your framework active and current.
We provide training for key stakeholders to ensure policies are understood and embedded into daily operations. Our hands-on support ensures smooth adoption and execution.
Our services are designed for regulated entities under MAS, including:
Fund Management Companies (FMCs)
Financial Advisers and Broker-Dealers
Payment Institutions & Digital Payment Token Service Providers
Wealth Managers and Family Offices
Fintech and Regtech Startups
