Ballards has announced the appointment of Peter Henry as its new governance and risk director.
Henry joins Ballards with over three decades of experience in audit, compliance, and risk management across various sectors.
His career began in the 1990s when he transitioned from practice to internal audit roles within civil service and local government. As regulations evolved, he moved into big industry, working for global giants such as Fujitsu and Caterpillar, as well as financial service companies.
In his new role at Ballards LLP, Henry will focus on streamlining governance processes, with a particular emphasis on anti-money laundering initiatives, ICAEW regulations, and data privacy.
His approach aims to create “efficient systems that meet requirements without unnecessary duplication”.
According to Ballards. Henry’s appointment comes at a time when the demand for governance and risk management expertise is at an all-time high.
His skills and experience are expected to strengthen Ballards LLP’s position in meeting regulatory requirements and managing risk effectively.
James Syree, partner and CEO at Ballards LLP, said: “The regulatory landscape has undergone significant changes over the past two decades, creating a pressing need for professionals like Peter who possess deep expertise in governance, risk, and compliance. Peter’s extensive experience and strategic approach will be invaluable as we navigate the complex regulatory environment and ensure our firm’s continued success.”
