Outsourced Chief Compliance Officer Services for Advisers

An outsourced Chief Compliance Officer provides senior compliance leadership without becoming a full-time internal hire. Responsibilities may include overseeing the compliance program, advising executive leadership, developing policies and procedures, assessing regulatory risk, supporting audits and examinations, and representing the organization to banks, regulators, or investors. The scope is tailored to the organization’s operating model and compliance priorities.

An outsourced CCO can give an adviser access to experienced compliance leadership while preserving flexibility around internal hiring and resourcing. Fraxtional can help strengthen oversight, clarify responsibilities, improve documentation, assess risks, and support regulatory readiness. This model is useful when an organization needs senior expertise but does not require, or is not ready for, a permanent full-time executive position.

The engagement can also provide advisory or embedded leadership, depending on the organization’s requirements. The responsibilities, reporting structure, and scope should be defined around the adviser’s compliance program, business activities, governance expectations, and applicable regulatory obligations.

Support may cover compliance program oversight, policy and procedure development, risk assessments, AML advisory, regulatory examination readiness, audit preparation, and board-level reporting. Fraxtional also lists experience with BSA/AML, UDAAP, Reg E, privacy, cyber risk, sanctions, and cross-border operations.

Fraxtional develops policies tailored to business operations, with role-based responsibilities, practical language, review-ready formatting, and version tracking.

Policies can be structured for future updates and used to support audits, sponsor bank reviews, regulatory inquiries, and ongoing compliance program management.

Yes. Fraxtional provides regulatory examination readiness services that assess compliance gaps, organize documentation, strengthen controls, and help teams respond to regulatory inquiries. Its independent audit services also review BSA/AML policies and controls, transaction monitoring effectiveness, risk factors, and remediation needs. The resulting findings and documentation are designed to support board, investor, bank, and regulatory review.

The right engagement depends on the organization’s responsibilities, current compliance structure, risk profile, leadership gap, and desired level of involvement. Fraxtional offers advisory, subscription, interim, and embedded leadership models.
