Supporting Effective Oversight & Regulatory Compliance
Effective governance, robust risk management, and strong internal controls are fundamental to the safe and sustainable operation of Electronic Money Institutions (EMIs) and Payment Institutions (PIs). Firms operating in Austria are expected to establish governance frameworks that support prudent decision-making, effective risk oversight, operational resilience, and regulatory compliance. Strong governance provides the foundation for effective compliance, sound risk management.
Electronic Money Institutions and Payment Institutions operate in an increasingly complex regulatory environment where operational, financial, technology, outsourcing, and compliance risks must be effectively managed. Regulators expect firms to establish governance arrangements that promote accountability, independent oversight, effective decision-making, and continuous monitoring of material risks. At ABM Global Compliance, we provide specialist Governance.

Your Questions Answered
What does a GRC framework include?
Clear governance structures with defined responsibilities, a risk management process that monitors what matters, and internal controls with compliance monitoring proving the framework works.
How much governance does the FMA expect?
Proportionate but genuine: arrangements scaled to your size and complexity, with real accountability, independent oversight where required, and evidence the framework operates daily.
What is third-party risk management?
Structured oversight of outsourcing and critical providers: due diligence, contractual protections, ongoing monitoring, exit planning, and a live register. Responsibility is never outsourced.
How do internal controls get tested?
Through compliance monitoring programmes and independent reviews that confirm controls operate as designed, not merely that they exist on paper.
Can governance scale as we grow?
It has to. We design frameworks with growth in mind, so new products, markets, and headcount extend the existing structure rather than forcing rebuilds.
