a.s.r. Life, led by CEO Philippe Wits, faced significant challenges in the life insurance sector, including maintaining portfolio profitability in a shrinking market while optimising client services.

ABN AMRO Asset Management manages €30 billion in assets and strives to ensure the security and reliability of its processes and policies. Responding to increasing client demands for enhanced process security, ABN AMRO initiated an ISAE implementation project. While risk management was not new to the organisation, the ISAE framework presented a novel challenge.

“My relationship with Securance goes back some time. Both now and in previous projects, I have experienced the expertise, pragmatism and cooperation as very pleasant. Because we planned to achieve both the ISAE 3402 and the ISAE 3000 within one year, it was essential that we as partners could count on each other. The fact that Risklane / Conclude Accountants has established itself as a sparring partner during the implementation has helped us a lot. This partnership, in combination with the willingness to change, commitment, and motivation of all Axians employees involved, has ensured that we have been able to achieve this result within time and the budget.
