About MNA

WHO WE ARE

A different kind of advisory firm

MNA was founded on a simple conviction: that governance, risk, and compliance should make organisations stronger — not slower. We bring together seasoned practitioners in internal audit, risk management, financial controls, technology assurance, and financial crime compliance under one roof.

Our people have led functions and engagements inside the organisations we now serve — former heads of internal audit, MLROs, risk officers, and technology auditors. That practitioner heritage means we understand the pressures our clients face, and we deliver advice that is practical, proportionate, and genuinely independent.

What sets us apart is how we work. We pair that deep human expertise with modern technology and artificial intelligence — giving our clients sharper insight, broader coverage, and faster assurance than traditional firms can offer.

“The rigour of a Big Four firm, the agility of a specialist, and the intelligence of modern technology — without the conflicts.”

AI & TECHNOLOGY

Intelligence that makes assurance smarter

We embed artificial intelligence and data analytics into every GRC engagement — not as a gimmick, but as a force-multiplier that lets our experts focus on judgement while technology handles scale. The result is assurance that is faster, deeper, and more forward-looking.

01.      AI-Driven Risk Analytics
Machine-learning models surface anomalies, emerging risks, and control failures across full datasets — moving from sample-based testing to full-population assurance.
02.     Continuous Monitoring
Always-on dashboards and automated control testing replace point-in-time reviews, giving boards a live view of their risk and compliance posture.

03.     Intelligent Document Review
Natural-language AI reviews policies, contracts, and regulatory filings at scale — mapping them to obligations and flagging gaps in minutes, not weeks.

04.     AI-Assisted AML & Screening
Smarter transaction-monitoring tuning and sanctions screening cut false positives and sharpen detection of genuine financial-crime risk.
05.     Automated Controls Testing
Bots and scripts execute repeatable control tests across ERP and core systems, delivering consistent, evidenced results with a full audit trail.
06.     Predictive & Horizon Scanning
AI horizon-scanning tracks regulatory change across our markets, alerting clients to new obligations before they take effect.

Responsible by design. Our use of AI is governed by the same rigour we bring to our clients — with human oversight, explainability, data protection, and bias controls built into every tool. Technology sharpens our judgement; it never replaces it.

WHAT WE DO

One integrated GRC platform

We embed artificial intelligence and data analytics into every GRC engagement — not as a gimmick, but as a force-multiplier that lets our experts focus on judgement while technology handles scale. The result is assurance that is faster, deeper, and more forward-looking.

Governance

Board and committee effectiveness, internal audit, ICFR, and the control frameworks that hold an organisation accountable — designed to be operated, not filed away.

Risk

Enterprise risk frameworks, risk appetite, technology and cyber risk, and resilience — giving boards a clear, data-driven view of the risks that matter most.

Compliance

AML/CFT, regulatory reviews, and financial-crime compliance across our markets — keeping clients aligned with every regulator whose rules apply to them.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

The values behind every engagement

Independence
No external audit conflicts and no software to sell. Our advice serves one interest only — yours.
Innovation
We invest in AI and technology so our clients get sharper insight and faster assurance than convention allows.
Rigour
Recognised standards, evidenced testing, and conclusions that withstand the scrutiny of boards, regulators, and auditors.
Partnership
Senior practitioners stay close to every engagement, building lasting relationships rather than transactional projects.
WHERE WE OPERATE

Rooted in the UK, trusted across the Gulf

From our hubs in London and the DIFC, we serve clients across five jurisdictions — combining international standards with on-the-ground knowledge of each market’s regulators.

One firm, one standard. Wherever you operate, you get the same senior-led team, the same technology-enabled methodology, and the same commitment to independent, defensible assurance — tailored to the regulator on your doorstep.
