Regulatory affairs, policy interpretation and engagement

Brinsop supports boards, senior management teams and industry bodies in understanding regulatory change, supervisory approach and policy direction. This includes analysis of proposed regulatory developments, support with consultation responses, and structured engagement with regulators and policymakers, undertaken directly or on a collaborative basis where appropriate.

The focus is on regulatory intent, governance implications and defensibility, rather than jurisdiction-specific access or transactional lobbying.

Governance and independent oversight

A core element of Brinsop’s work is independent oversight at board and committee level. This includes supporting governance frameworks, reviewing the effectiveness of compliance, AML and safer gambling arrangements, and providing structured challenge and assurance.

Brinsop regularly chairs Internal Audit and Compliance Committees and supports boards in understanding regulatory and governance risk, escalation pathways and assurance gaps.

Regulatory risk governance and prioritisation

Brinsop works with organisations to identify, assess and monitor regulatory and governance risk. This includes supporting boards and senior management in evaluating risk registers and regulatory risk governance frameworks, and in determining which risks require escalation to senior management or board-level attention.

The emphasis is on clarity, prioritisation and defensibility, rather than exhaustive risk catalogues.

Assurance reviews and audits

Where appropriate, Brinsop undertakes formal assurance reviews and audits of regulatory compliance, AML and safer gambling frameworks as part of a broader governance and assurance role. In many cases, this work sits within a broader assurance or governance role, supporting boards in understanding whether existing systems are effective, proportionate and regulator-ready.

Specialist reviews are commissioned where required, with findings escalated through formal governance channels.

Strategic and operational advisory

Brinsop provides senior advisory support on matters where regulatory, governance and operational considerations intersect. This includes advice on organisational structure, regulatory readiness, control design and the governance implications of strategic change.

This work is positioned at senior level and is not intended to substitute for management or operational delivery.
