Chris Bellairs

I've been working with Financial Services clients for more than 20 years on global projects for banking, insurance and investment-related organisations. As an FS Advisory Partner, I'm involved in a wide variety of projects covering all aspects of operational support. I'm also our UK lead partner for FS internal audit work.

My clients and network span across Financial Services, with a particular focus on growing our presence in the insurance and asset management sectors. I currently act as Head of Internal Audit for a FTSE 250 wealth manager, an investment bank and an insurance broker.

My experience covers corporate governance, financial crime and KYC, internal audit (outsource, co-source, quality assurance and effectiveness), operational and control improvement, forensic investigation support, financial and operational due diligence and UK FS regulation. I've worked around the world and my clients have included FTSE 100, Fortune 500 and significant sovereign wealth organisations, alongside smaller UK-based listed and non-listed firms.
