Outsourcing

When is outsourcing the right choice?

Outsourcing audit, risk or compliance is appropriate for institutions that:

• Need a formal setup of the audit, risk or compliance function for the first time.
• Have to deal with long-term attrition or tightness in the labor market.
• Need immediate deployment, without long recruitment processes.
• Want to bridge a specific assignment or transition period.
• Wanting to get ahead of supervision or regulation without creating excess capacity.

At ARC People, we look not only at job content, but also at positioning within governance. Does the reporting line fit? Is the mandate clear? Does the work match supervisory expectations? Only then will outsourcing have a lasting effect.

What should you expect?

Our professionals bring not only knowledge of laws and regulations, but also experience in similar organizations. They are familiar with complex governance structures, know the practice and switch effortlessly between policy, implementation and supervision.

Some concrete features of our outsourcing approach:

• Seniority to establish the position professionally from day 1.
• Fulfillment of the position in accordance with the standards of IIA, NBA, ISACA or compliance professional associations.
• Smooth onboarding, including transfer of information and coordination with internal and external stakeholders.
• Immediate availability of up-to-date knowledge, for example on DORA, ESG, ISAE 3402, NIS2 or the Financial Supervision Act.
• If necessary, additional expertise can be called upon from ARC People colleagues.
• Sharpness in roles: independent where necessary, cooperative where helpful.
• Clear reporting and structured documentation so that accountability to the board and regulators is always possible.

Compliance outsourcing with ARC People is never "hiring under a different name. We take responsibility, deliver demonstrable quality and provide peace of mind.

A partner who thinks ahead

Our audit outsourcing does not stop at filling the position. We continue to steer towards an arrangement that is smarter, more complete and future-proof. It is the best choice when you want to place execution and responsibility for results with one party, when staffing is small or continuity is under pressure, or when independence and pace are priorities.

If in-house direction is important, if you want to transfer knowledge and move with peaks and troughs, co-sourcing is often the appropriate alternative. We rotate in your team, secure knowledge and scale with the demand.

In addition, we can spar with management, internal audit or the external auditor. Not only about content, but also about impact. This creates support and acceleration without concessions to technical acuity.

Flexibility without concessions

Collaboration is always customized. Consider:

• Temporary bridging (for example, in the event of departure or prolonged absence).
• Part-time structural fill an independent position.
• Full outsourcing with multiple roles (e.g., risk and compliance).
• Phased setup: temporary at first, later possibly co-sourcing or internal acquisition.
• Combination with project-based support, such as audits or reviews.

In all cases, we provide a solution that not only works today, but is also prepared for tomorrow.
