CLIENT CHALLENGES

  • Challenges in meeting compliance deadlines

OUR APPROACH

  • Kicked off with a six-member FTE team with cross-sector expertise
  • The team acted as an extension of the onshore credit research team and was aligned with the client’s team of tax-exempt Munis and taxable credits
  • Defined a workflow process process after a review and re-engineering of critical processes
  • Followed best practices with a robust quality control process and continuous feedback mechanism
  • Set priorities on initiations and initiated regular monitoring to meet compliance and regulatory requirements

IMPACT DELIVERED

  • Leveraged the time zone difference to support new issuance reviews
  • Achieved a sharp improvement in coverage and periodic monitoring of issuers
  • Our solution not only released onshore bandwidth but also helped institutionalise a robust monitoring process
  • Given the impact and value provided by Acuity, the client expanded the team size to nine FTEs within a year of kick-off
