TrueTide Advisory and Actko Consulting work together to help banks identify the repeatable, rule-based risk and control work that AI agents can take on, and to govern that work safely once it is live.
Each firm is separately engaged and separately accountable. Actko leads the risk and controls expertise and execution; TrueTide leads client origination and relationships. Neither firm brings its own AI platform — delivery runs on the Client's own technology, AI capability and in-house teams.
Led by Nicholas Bennett, TrueTide Advisory brings senior relationships across banking and financial services, working with leaders navigating complexity, regulatory change and transformation. Within this partnership, TrueTide leads client origination and relationship-building.
truetideadvisory.com →Founded by Kelechi Onukogu, drawing on 25 years leading risk, control and transformation functions at major banks. Within this partnership, Actko leads the diagnostic, operating model design, AI agent governance and executive reporting — working with the Client's own technology teams and existing AI capability to execute.
actkoconsulting.com →Most banking risk and control operations run on repeatable, rule-based processes performed manually by large teams. Together, we identify which of that work can be safely automated with AI agents, build the governance to run it, and report the results to senior executives in a form they can act on.
Map the process and control taxonomy; identify what is repeatable, homogeneous and automatable.
Design the agent framework and governance, then deploy on the Client's own platform and AI capability, starting with a scoped pilot.
Run a standing Red/Amber/Green executive dashboard, drillable to root cause.
Baseline scan and automation shortlist, typically 3 to 4 weeks.
Live pilot on 1 to 2 processes, typically 10 to 12 weeks.
Ongoing named oversight of rollout and scaling, monthly.
Standing dashboard and advisory to Exco and Board Risk Committee, monthly.
Any engagement is contracted and invoiced directly by TrueTide Advisory Ltd, Actko Consulting Ltd, or both, as agreed with the Client before work begins.
If your bank is looking at where AI agents could take on repeatable risk and control work, we would be glad to talk it through.
