Governance and control functions

Fortuna was built by a team holding all seven pre-approved control-function roles its regime requires, each individually vetted and approved by the Central Bank of Ireland under the Fitness and Probity regime: Chief Executive, Executive Director, Head of Risk, Head of Compliance, Chief Information Officer, Internal Audit, and Money Laundering Reporting Officer. Regulatory depth is not a marketing line for us. It is who is on the team.
