Financial Services
GRC Roundtable

Thursday 26th March

Roundtable: Freshworks, 79 Hatton Garden, London EC1N 8JS
Dinner: Bob Bob Ricard City, Level 3, 122 Leadenhall St, London EC3V 4AB

SCC are bringing together senior leaders in the Financial Services space to examine how Joiner-Mover-Leaver events can either inflate cost and weaken control - or reinforce resilience, financial discipline and defensibility.

Is your Joiner, Mover and Leaver (JML) control environment protecting enterprise value - or quietly increasing regulatory and financial exposure?

For senior leaders in Financial Services and Insurance, this is more than operational hygiene. Under PRA/FCA, DORA and multi-jurisdiction scrutiny, workforce transition discipline directly affects cost control, regulatory defensibility and operational resilience. Every Joiner, Mover and Leaver (JML) moment determines:

  • Who retains access to sensitive systems and client data
  • Whether segregation-of-duties conflicts are introduced
  • If privileged accounts remain appropriately controlled
  • Whether third-party and contractor access is governed
  • If software licences and devices align to actual demand
  • Whether control evidence is available in real time - not retrospectively

When accountability is fragmented across HR, IT, Finance and Risk, exposure accumulates.

  • Licence overspend grows.
  • Access expands exponentially.
  • SoD conflicts emerge.
  • Audit findings repeat.
  • Regulatory scrutiny increases.

That’s why we are convening an exclusive, invitation-only Financial Services and Insurance Executive Roundtable focused on strengthening GRC through disciplined workforce transition control.

Join us as we move beyond process and into measurable financial and regulatory impact - followed by a private executive dinner.

Why You Can’t Miss This:

1. JML as a Regulatory & Resilience Stress Test:

Why workforce transition controls repeatedly sit at the heart of SoD compliance, surface in Internal Audit, SMCR and operational resilience reviews - and what differentiates structurally robust environments from recurring remediation cycles.

2. Licence, Asset & Cost Exposure:

How entitlement sprawl, SaaS misalignment and weak asset recovery during joiner, mover and leaver events quietly inflate the cost base.

3. Governance in Practice:

How clearer cross-functional ownership (HR, IT, Finance, Risk) transforms JML from an administrative process into a defensible control environment. And how integrated HR–IAM–GRC data improves real-time evidence and reduces remediation cycles.

4. Real-World Case Insight:

Examples where governance-led redesign of workforce transition controls reduced licence spend, eliminated recurring findings and strengthened regulatory posture.
