Navigating AMP8 with confidence in regulatory assurance
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.
