• Conduct monitoring tests where required but this is expected to be limited to a limited number of tests.

• Generate comprehensive reports on Monitoring findings and promptly communicate them to the Compliance Management or to the relevant stakeholder.

• Management of the Monitoring issues log, tracking these to completion

• Regular Management Information production.

• Undertake Compliance Assurance checks on the work of the Central Compliance Team
