Every Control, The Rule, The Frequency, And The File That Proves It Ran.
The monitoring programme I run for firms holding $850bn+ in combined client assets, as a working spreadsheet you can open and use today. Populated, not blank. Asset managers and payments firms have their own sheet. The column at the centre of it is the one your framework is actually judged on.

The Compliance Monitoring Programme
The monitoring programme I run for firms, as a working file you can drop straight in. Every control, the rule it maps to, the frequency, and one column most programmes leave out: the evidence that proves the control actually ran.

- Seven regulators, one coherent framework
Inside The Compliance Monitoring Programme
89 controls already written and mapped to the rule behind them, so you are editing rather than starting.
An evidence column on every row naming the file that answers show me it is working, which is the question the binder does not answer.
A reporting calendar with the returns, the frequencies and the rule, so your deadlines hang off the same document as your controls.
A twelve-question test that scores whether you could answer a supervisor today. Ten minutes, on your own, with nobody watching.
Tools you keep. Not tips you forget.
The programme, populated, for your firm type
49 controls for AIFM and MiFID managers, 40 for payment and e-money institutions with safeguarding first. Each one carries the rule, the frequency, an owner, what operating actually looks like, and the evidence it leaves behind. Delete what does not apply and it is yours.
The evidence column
The part nobody else fills in. Not the policy, the residue: the dated, attributable record the control leaves when it is performed properly. A firm that captures the trail as the control runs answers in seconds. A firm that does not answers with a reconstruction, and the reconstruction is itself the finding.
A status counter that does not flatter you
Mark each control Evidenced or Documented only. The sheet counts both. That second number is the truest measure of your regulatory position that exists anywhere in your firm, and most people are surprised by it the first time.
The show me test, scored
Twelve questions a supervisor actually asks. Show me a policy you reviewed and concluded needed no change. Show me a disclosure you decided not to report, and the reasoning. Show me one you turned down. Score yourself out of twelve before somebody else does it for you.
One email. The whole kit.

Who’s behind this
Asad Bukhory
Founder, Artizan Governance
Asad has spent two decades at the regulatory coalface, holding sole SMF16 and SMF17 roles personally and building the controls behind some of the largest balance sheets in this market. More than $850bn of client assets sit under frameworks he built, including a $700bn MiFID II build across EMEA, harmonised across seven regulators. He founded Artizan to bring that standard to the firms that need it most and can rarely reach it: the ones where the entire control function is one person.

Questions, answered
Is this actually free, and is there a catch?
It is free and there is no catch. No card, no trial. You give me a name and a work email, I send you the access link. If the emails afterwards are not useful, one click and they stop.
I am not an AIFM. Is it still worth my time?
Probably, if you manage alternatives in any form. Most of the programme is governance, valuation, delegation and reporting practice the FCA applies well beyond the AIFMD perimeter. If you run long-only UCITS and nothing else it will be less useful, and I would rather tell you that now than waste your evening.
How long does it take, and do I have to do it in one sitting?
Roughly four hours across sixteen modules, and no. It is built to be picked up and put down, which is the only realistic way anyone in this job gets through anything.
