Governance & Internal Controls

Establish governance structures and internal control mechanisms that meet supervisory standards and support operational resilience.

Sound governance is a regulatory prerequisite and a strategic asset. We help fintech companies design governance frameworks that satisfy the Bank of Lithuania's expectations regarding management body composition, fit-and-proper requirements, internal control functions, and oversight mechanisms. Our work encompasses board and committee structures, three-lines-of-defence models, internal audit arrangements, risk management frameworks, and conflict-of-interest policies. We tailor governance structures to your company's size, complexity, and licence type while ensuring proportionality with supervisory guidelines. We also support companies preparing for supervisory assessments of governance arrangements, helping you document and demonstrate the effectiveness of your internal controls.
