Inspections conducted by supervisory authorities (ACPR, AMF, DGCCRF or other European regulators) represent critical moments in an organization's lifecycle. Beyond compliance assessment, they can reveal vulnerabilities, trigger enforcement actions or sanctions, and have lasting reputational impact.

A successful inspection is not improvised. It requires preparation, active management and structured remediation. DB Compliance Advisory supports you at every stage of the inspection cycle with proven methodology and expertise from practitioners who have managed dozens of regulatory inspections.

  • Anticipate and effectively prepare for an inspection
  • Manage the inspection day-to-day: handling documentation requests, supporting interviews, positioning vis-à-vis inspectors, maintaining audit trail of exchanges
  • Respond strategically to the report: analysis of findings, legal and factual arguments, drafting a relevant response
  • Build a robust remediation plan: identifying root causes, corrective and preventive actions, oversight and reporting to the supervisor
  • Handle sanctions and enforcement proceedings: Master the sanctions regime and available appeal mechanisms

Modular approach tailored to your context:
a comprehensive module covering the entire inspection cycle with end-to-end methodology, or specific modules based on your immediate needs — strategic preparation, management during the inspection, or post-inspection remediation plan development.
