France's Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) published a synthesis of its SPOT inspections covering the compliance and internal control functions implemented within portfolio management companies. The review covered five portfolio management companies and was carried out as part of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) 2025 common supervisory action. It follows the AMF’s 2020 SPOT campaign on outsourcing of internal control and was preceded by an initial analysis phase based on a questionnaire sent to a wider set of firms, comprising 41 companies.
