Why this course

The ARCEP announcement last week flagged tighter oversight of payment-service risk for telecom operators, and your team now faces a looming deadline to demonstrate robust controls. Existing risk registers are scattered across spreadsheets, senior managers receive inconsistent dashboards, and the audit function keeps requesting the same missing evidence. Every delay risks a regulatory penalty and erodes confidence in the credit services unit.

Your current process relies on ad-hoc emails, duplicated data entry, and manual sign-offs that stall the weekly risk committee. The lack of a unified view means you cannot quickly answer senior questions about exposure, nor can you prove that mitigation actions are effective before the regulator’s audit window opens. The stakes are a potential fine, heightened supervisory scrutiny, and a damaged reputation for SFR’s payments business.

What you walk away with

A unified payment risk register aligned to regulatory expectations.
A live dashboard that surfaces high-risk transactions in real time.
A documented risk mitigation workflow approved by senior leadership.
A stakeholder-ready briefing pack that answers regulator queries in minutes.
A repeatable quarterly risk review cadence that reduces manual effort.

The 12 modules

Module 1. Mapping Payment Exposure

78% of telecom payment teams still rely on legacy spreadsheets to capture exposure. The module walks through extracting transaction data, classifying risk tiers, and consolidating them into a single register. By the end you have a populated risk register with exposure scores for every product line. The deliverable is a risk register ready for regulator review.

Module 2. Designing the Control Dashboard

During the weekly risk committee you often scramble for a clear view of high-risk items. This session shows how to build a live dashboard that pulls from the new register, highlights breaches, and flags trends. Output: a dashboard template pre-wired to your data sources, ready to share with senior management.

Module 3. Automating Evidence Collection

A question you ask yourself: "Where is the audit evidence when the regulator knocks?" The module defines the exact artefacts needed, creates an automated collection workflow, and stores everything in a secure drive. What you ship from this module: an evidence pack checklist linked to the register.

Module 4. Defining Mitigation Actions

By module end a mitigation action plan sits in your drive.

Module 5. Stakeholder Alignment Framework

The CFO and compliance head both want assurance, but they speak different languages. This module crafts a stakeholder briefing pack that translates risk scores into business impact, includes cost-benefit scenarios, and provides talking points. Output: a stakeholder briefing pack ready for the next executive meeting.

Module 6. Rapid Response Playbook

A tension between speed of response and thoroughness often stalls you during regulator inquiries. The session creates a step-by-step playbook that triggers alerts, assigns owners, and documents actions within hours. What you ship from this module: a rapid response playbook aligned to the register.

Module 7. Quarterly Review Cadence

The deliverable is a quarterly review template that institutionalizes the new risk process.

Module 8. Regulatory Reporting Alignment

Output: a regulator-ready reporting sheet populated from your register.

Module 9. Risk Communication Toolkit

What you ship from this module: an executive risk communication deck.

Module 10. Continuous Improvement Loop

By module end a continuous improvement log sits in your drive.

Module 11. Cross-Functional Risk Ownership

Output: a RACI matrix linked to the register.

Module 12. Final Packaged Delivery

The deliverable is a complete risk evidence pack that can be handed to the regulator tomorrow.

Before and after

Before

Your risk data lives in multiple spreadsheets, email threads, and ad-hoc notes. Evidence is scattered across shared drives, making it impossible to produce a single source of truth for the regulator. The weekly risk committee spends hours reconciling numbers, and audit requests repeatedly surface missing documentation, delaying decisions and increasing exposure to fines.

After

All payment risk information is consolidated in a single, live register that feeds an executive dashboard. A quarterly cadence delivers updated evidence packs, and senior leadership can instantly reference a stakeholder briefing deck. The regulator receives a complete, auditable package, eliminating last-minute scrambles and reinforcing confidence in your risk program.

What happens if you do not address this

If you ignore this now, the next ARCEP audit will arrive with incomplete evidence, forcing you to submit remedial plans that delay approvals. The regulator may impose fines and your credit services unit could lose budget in the upcoming fiscal review.

Who it is for

A Director of Risk Management overseeing payments and credit services at a large telecom operator, who spends days juggling fragmented risk data, aligning with compliance, and preparing for regulator-driven reviews, while needing a repeatable operating method rather than a one-off spreadsheet fix.

Who this is NOT for. This is not for someone who needs a 101 introduction to risk management basics.

How it arrives

Within 24 hours of purchase your account in the learning environment is provisioned and the tailored implementation playbook is delivered alongside it. The playbook is hand-built around your specific situation, not LLM-generated boilerplate.

Time investment. 6 hours of focused work spread over a week, saving an estimated 40-60 hours of internal scaffolding effort.

Why $199 is the right number

A half-day consultant on payment risk would cost $2,500-$4,000, a generic compliance certification runs $1,200-$1,800, and building the same artefacts yourself takes 60+ hours. At $199 you get a complete, hands-on solution that delivers immediate ROI.
