UK regulated firms seeking to comply with the Russian sanctions have had to grapple with fast moving legislative and regulatory change, and have inevitably encountered governance challenges along the way. The lessons learned as part of that process have read across which may assist firms in reacting to future develeopments beyond sanctions. Conducting a governance review in this context will enable firms to benefit from recent experience by identifying such lessons and may act as a catalyst for any remediation required so as to ensure the business is better positioned to react and respond to the next set of challenges.
