Case Study: AXA Investment Managers achieves improved risk mitigation and compliance performance with Protecht.ERM (Protecht)

How Axa Investment Integrated Risk Management Into Their Compliance System

AXA Investment Managers, a fund manager focused on alternative and institutional investments in Australia, had been relying on Excel to record and manage risk, which made it hard to integrate risk management with compliance and to keep controls linked to risks across the business. Protecht was engaged initially to deliver risk management refresher training, and AXA selected Protecht.ERM to demonstrate value, improve control attestations and workflows, and make risk-control linkages more visible to staff.

Protecht implemented Protecht.ERM to map operational controls to key risks, embed compliance obligations, and introduce registers and workflow-driven attestations. The deployment reduced duplication, improved reporting and monitoring of incidents and legal matters, enabled timely collation of data to spot trends, and allowed AXA Investment Managers to effectively attest to controls — delivering noticeable improvements across the company’s risk, compliance and assurance operations and creating advocates throughout the business.
