What if your asset management organisation is misclassifying occupation groups, exposing your compliance programme to regulatory scrutiny, operational inefficiencies, and strategic blind spots? Without a structured, standards-aligned approach to defining and assessing occupation groups, you risk inaccurate reporting, flawed workforce planning, and non-alignment with global regulatory expectations such as those from IOSCO, SFTR, and MiFID II. The Occupation Groups in Asset Management Self-Assessment Kit gives you immediate clarity and control, providing a complete diagnostic framework to audit, optimise, and standardise how your firm categorises roles across investment operations, risk management, compliance, and client services. This self-assessment toolkit ensures you can demonstrate defensible classification logic, reduce regulatory risk, and align with industry best practice , or face the consequences of inadequate governance in a highly scrutinised sector.

How This Helps You
This self-assessment kit transforms vague or inconsistent occupation group definitions into a compliant, auditable, and repeatable framework. Each question targets a specific control gap that, if left unaddressed, could result in regulatory findings during ESMA or SEC examinations, inaccurate MiFID II transaction reporting, or flawed diversity and inclusion metrics. By answering the 247 structured questions, you’ll identify exactly where your classification processes lack rigour, traceability, or alignment with international standards. You’ll gain a maturity score that benchmark your firm against peer institutions and justify investment in HR data governance. Most importantly, you’ll eliminate the risk of regulatory penalties stemming from misreported staff functions , a growing focus area for supervisors assessing operational transparency and market integrity.
Who Is This For?
- Compliance Officers responsible for MiFID II, SFTR, and EMIR reporting accuracy who need to verify that employee roles are correctly categorised
