Cordium, the market-leading provider of governance, risk and compliance services, and Knadel, a specialist management consultancy, have formed a strategic alliance in the UK which will harness the skills and experience of both firms to provide best of breed regulatory, business and technology consulting services to the investments industry.

Both Cordium and Knadel have a strong track record of effective advisory consultancy, specialising respectively in regulatory and business change. Working together, both parties can now offer existing and new clients:

•                Cohesive advice and analysis that reflects the practical experience of both firms, combining regulatory analysis, support and compliance infrastructure delivery with operational, business and technology advice and implementation

•                Thought-leadership that benefits from the recognised domain expertise of both firms

•                Access to a broader range of service capability to support delivery of business change

“We are very excited by the opportunities this alliance creates for clients within the investments industry” said Paul Sutton, Co-founder and Director, Knadel.  “We believe there is a gap in the market to provide a specialist boutique consulting offering as an alternative to the 'big 4' regulatory and business consulting model”.

“Regulatory requirements are a key driver behind business and technological change, operational standards and innovation” said Stephen Burke, Managing Director, Cordium EMEA. “Together, our two trusted firms will provide clients with regulatory and operations expertise to manage change and support clients with risk, governance and compliance solutions on a regular basis.”
