Most forex brokerages invest in risk management software — but technology alone does not tell you whether your risk framework is actually working. Our independent forex broker risk management audit evaluates the strategic layer above your tools: whether your capital structure is adequate, your liquidity buffers are sufficient, your counterparty exposures are understood, and your hedging strategies are effective under real market conditions.
As an independent third-party auditor with no technology products to sell, our findings are objective. We identify the risks your internal team may have normalised — and give your board, investors and regulators a credible, unbiased assessment of your firm's risk posture.
A comprehensive, independent review of every dimension of your brokerage's risk framework
We assess your firm's capital structure against the regulatory minimum thresholds set by your licence authority (CySEC, FCA, ASIC etc.) and evaluate whether your actual capital buffers are sufficient to absorb realistic market stress scenarios. Many brokerages operate close to minimums without realising the operational and reputational risk this creates.
Our audit evaluates your liquidity buffers, funding structures and access to emergency liquidity. We stress-test your liquidity position against peak trading volumes, client withdrawal events and market disruptions — identifying vulnerabilities before they become operational crises.
We review your exposure to liquidity providers, prime brokers, PSPs and banking partners — assessing concentration risk, credit quality and the robustness of your due diligence processes for selecting and monitoring counterparties. Over-reliance on a single counterparty is one of the most common unmanaged risks in forex brokerage operations.
We analyse execution speed, slippage, fill rates and re-quote frequency to assess whether your trading operations meet best execution obligations and deliver consistent, fair outcomes for clients. Execution quality failures are a growing focus for forex broker regulators.
Our audit examines your A-book/B-book model and hedging strategy to assess whether your approach to managing market risk is effective, consistent and appropriate for your client book. We identify gaps between your stated hedging policy and actual practice — a common area of regulatory scrutiny.
