Assuring the future

Navigating AMP8 with confidence in regulatory assurance

10.09.2025

Webinar

As the UK water industry enters AMP8 (2025–2030), the regulatory landscape is evolving rapidly, with Ofwat’s PR29 setting ambitious expectations around net-zero targets, customer outcomes, data transparency, and infrastructure resilience. Water companies are under increasing pressure to deliver robust business cases, ensure data integrity, and demonstrate compliance across a complex web of technical and regulatory requirements.

In this webinar, Tom Hall, Chief Economist, and Rachel Alves, Asset Management Lead, explore how a strategic, risk-based assurance approach (rooted in ISO 19011:2018 and the 'three lines of defence' model from the Institute of Internal Auditors) can help water companies protect and create value and meet the challenges of AMP8 head-on.
