Why Entrust Governance & Regulatory?

Strengthening governance where judgement, independence and experience truly matter.

The Luxembourg financial sector does not wait. Regulatory demands accumulate, business models evolve, and the organisations that move forward with clarity are those with the right partners beside them.

Entrust Governance & Regulatory is that partner. Independent, senior, fully committed — we strengthen our clients’ governance and risk management frameworks, enhance the quality of their oversight and support decision-making that stands up to the scrutiny of time and supervisor alike.

Our compass is straightforward: excellence in execution, independence in judgement, and results that last.

Risks, compliance
and oversight

Risks, compliance and oversight

A compliance framework that only works in theory is a liability. We build operational, proportionate frameworks aligned with supervisory expectations.

  • Structured and documented Compliance Risk Assessment
  • Compliance Monitoring Plan as a real management tool
  • AML/CFT framework calibrated to your effective activity
  • Traceable and defensible delegate oversight
  • Policies and procedures your teams can actually apply

Regulatory advisory

We translate regulation into clear, actionable orientations — grounded in Luxembourg market practices and adapted to your business model.

  • Impact analysis of new CSSF circulars and AED guidelines
  • Post-inspection support: response and action plan
  • Reasoned positions on AML/CFT, governance and delegation
  • Preparation for authorisations and activity extensions
  • Support for thematic reviews

Internal audit

The internal audit function is not a box to tick. We give boards, approved managers and audit committees an independent, clear and directly actionable view of their control environment — through full outsourcing or targeted co-sourcing.

Outsourcing — full ownership of your internal audit function, from recurring missions to sensitive topics.

Co-sourcing — targeted support on specific or regulatory engagements: governance, AML, MiFID II, remuneration, DORA.

  • Risk-ranked assessment of the internal control environment
  • Independent view of the delegation and supervision framework
  • Control weaknesses identified before any inspection
  • Concise, decision-oriented reporting for audit committees
