Internal Control, Governance & Risk Management
Building resilient operating models in the Middle East & Africa
Biz Easy’s Risk Consulting provides execution-focused business consulting to multinational companies operating in complex regulatory environments across the Middle East and Africa.
Our services focus on internal control, governance, and risk management frameworks that actually function in day-to-day operations. Rather than creating formal structures for compliance alone, we help organizations build practical, explainable, and sustainable operating models trusted by headquarters, regulators, banks, and auditors.
Why Risk Consulting Matters in the Middle East & Africa
Companies operating in the Middle East and Africa face unique structural challenges:
- Frequent regulatory and policy changes
- Strong expectations from regulators, banks, and auditors
- High dependency on local management and key individuals
- Gaps between HQ governance standards and local operations
In such environments, weak internal control and governance do not fail quietly—they disrupt operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our risk consulting includes internal and external audits, but it encompasses more than that.
While internal and external audits typically aim to “check and evaluate the current state,” Biz Easy’s risk consulting focuses on building and improving internal controls, governance, and risk management into a “practically functional form” based on actual business operations.
Its defining feature is that we don’t stop at identifying issues; we support you through improvement design and implementation until the changes are firmly established.
Yes. Many companies face challenges such as “having regulations that aren’t being implemented” or “regulations that are out of step with local practices.”
Biz Easy reviews and strengthens your existing internal controls and regulations based on your actual situation.
No. Internal controls are important regardless of company size.
Particularly in the Middle East and Africa, where accountability for regulatory changes, dealing with authorities, and bank compliance is required,
even startups and medium-sized companies must establish a minimally functional control framework.
Yes, it is possible. Biz Easy builds a continuous check and improvement system without requiring specialized personnel in-house, through internal control audit outsourcing and advisory support.
We provide this not merely as a substitute, but as an external function to enhance management and operations.
Biz Easy’s risk consulting is provided seamlessly alongside legal, accounting, tax, and HR services.
Since internal controls and governance cannot function in isolation,
we prioritize their integrated design and operation within the overall business operations.
We handle projects on a case-by-case basis across the Middle East and Africa, primarily focusing on GCC countries including the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Our consultants, honed daily by the regulations and business environments of various countries, primarily Gulf nations, will assist you.
