Corporate Governance - Regulate your Business

AvelaLaw has developed several policies and internal regulations for financial service providers supporting their duties to ensure an appropriate organisation of operations and to regulate and control their relevant business processes. All policies and internal regulations have been established in line with our practical experience to fit a regular small to mid-sized asset management company. The policies and internal regulations are clustered along the relevant ‘Core’ and ‘Corporate’ processes. They are available as individual documents to complement an existing policy framework or in various forms as packages to cover specific areas of business or the full range of all processes to match FINMA’s requirements on appropriate organisational measures and corporate governance. All policies include a practical description of relevant duties and responsibilities as well as a directly applicable set of controls for the first and second line of defence. In addition, AvelaLaw offers a digital ICS solution (VELA) that supports all these controls in a fully automated way (https://vela.avelalaw.com).
