Case study: Strengthening liquidity risk & ICARA
Discover how Risk Consulting London helped a UK investment firm achieve a fully reconciled and defensible risk position, enhancing confidence and regulatory readiness.
Improving data integrity and reporting
A UK investment firm faced inconsistencies in liquidity risk reporting and a weak ICARA framework. Different figures across risk, finance, and regulatory outputs created uncertainty. We conducted a targeted review, identifying key data and reconciliation gaps. Our intervention led to a redesigned liquidity framework, enhanced stress testing, aligned reporting, and a clear, consistent data foundation.
Outcome: Enhanced confidence and compliance
The firm achieved a fully reconciled and defensible risk position, significantly boosting the credibility of its ICARA and internal reporting. Senior management gained confidence in their decision-making, and the firm was better prepared for both regulatory reviews and audits. This case highlights our ability to deliver practical, high-impact solutions.
