Compliance and Risk

 
Compliance and Risk are a small team of professional people located at each of the AA’s major sites, Cheadle, Newcastle, Cardiff and the Head Office at Basingstoke.

Our purpose within the AA and subsidiary companies is to provide a proactive internal consultancy service to ensure that employees and managers understand the risks and regulatory obligations with which the AA must comply. We work with the management team in the business units to develop plans which will serve to mitigate any risks.

We provide independent assurance to the AA board and external regulatory bodies that the AA Group is managing and controlling its risks. In the case of the Financial Services Authority (FSA), we provide assurance that the AA Group strives to meet their statutory objectives. We also work to build trusted relationships with the FSA and other regulators.

Within the team we are able to provide support, development, and the opportunity to experience ‘sharp end’ interface with our colleagues in the business units.
