Welcome to Innovate Compliance
Disruptive thinking in compliance and ethics
At Innovate Compliance, we believe that compliance is not a framework, it is a philosophy.
We bring together innovative, pragmatic and curious minds to reimagine the doctrine of compliance and solve tomorrow's regulatory challenges.
We help financial services firms embed sustainable compliance and corporate governance principles into their DNA, giving them the ideas and tools to tell compelling, integrated and respected compliance stories.
What we do
Idea disruption & thought leadership
We specialise in ideas that promote 'polite disruption' to regulation, governance and compliance risk management, seeking out new ways to meaningfully shape compliance philosophy and promote ethical conduct.
Expert coaching & curated workshops
We help executive teams elevate their regulatory understanding as it applies to their business, reshaping their compliance story for the next generation of technology and regulatory disruption.
Compliance modelling & re-engineering
We help firms reengineer the way they manage compliance risk, using a blend of economics, accounting and legal principles to adapt our unique quantitative compliance risk management model for their business needs.
Industry events, collaboration & advocacy
We work with industry groups to promote compliance thinking that results in simple and translatable programmes and expectations that are founded on principles of societal fairness.
What makes us different
Curiosity
Our team combines traditional compliance expertise with frontier thinking in behavioural science, geopolitical insights, and risk management techniques, bringing together curious minds across the industry and beyond to solve tomorrow's challenges.
Storytelling
We help firms tell their compliance stories with passion and honesty, working with boards to integrate compliance into their firms' purpose and strategy. We understand the need for compliance to add to a firm's value proposition whilst also meeting regulatory expectations.
Authenticity
We believe compliance becomes a vital component of a firm's value proposition when it is woven throughout a firm's practices. Authentic compliance culture is created when respect for clients, business partners and regulation is embraced as part of every day behaviour.
Elevation
We help firms reengineer their frameworks and embrace the future. Our team blends thought leadership in compliance best practices with bespoke executive coaching, partnering with firms to transform their compliance understanding and embed authentic, respected compliance culture at all levels of the organisation.
Our origins
Natalie McManus-Barnett founded Innovate Compliance to promote creativity, ingenuity and innovation in compliance practices. She collaborates with a team of risk professionals to promote non-financial risk insights and offer new ways of addressing compliance and ethics challenges.
Unsatisfied with the compliance status quo she witnessed in two decades of working in financial services, Natalie started crafting her own brand of compliance risk management built on curiosity, polite disruption, and respect for business values. Blending legal, psychological and economic principles and observed innovative practices from senior professionals in her field, Natalie's vision for compliance is one of sustainability, integration and innovation which complements, rather than competes with, corporate governance and ethics.
Natalie believes formalising the science behind compliance is essential in order to meet the challenges of an AI-enhanced world, and to manage increasingly complex regulatory expectations.
Natalie is a fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and a fellow of the International Compliance Association, with specialist qualifications in sustainability accounting, and degrees in law, accounting and politics, philosophy and economics. She has delivered multiple risk management frameworks for global institutions, building ground-up practices for emerging risk management, monitoring and assurance, risk assessment, complaints handling, breach reporting, management information and risk appetite frameworks, as well as building a specialist advisory portfolio covering non-financial risk management, sustainable finance and impact investing, modern slavery and climate risk, investment research, financial promotions, investor protection, accountability, client assets, conflicts of interest, inside information and trade sanctions.
