Former IOM GSC Inspector Joins to Head New Regulatory Compliance and Assurance Program
Global Gaming Solutions has officially launched its new Internal Audit and Assurance service, appointing Hannah McCune as Head of Internal Audit and Assurance to lead the program. The launch comes at a time when enforcement actions and multi-million-pound financial penalties are rising across the international regulatory landscape, heightening the need for practical, comprehensive compliance programs.
McCune brings extensive experience from both sides of the regulatory table. As a former Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF) Inspector at the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission (IOM GSC), she led several high-profile cases. Prior to her regulatory work, she spent over seven years delivering private sector compliance support across multiple jurisdictions.

- Policy and Control Assessment: Reviewing existing policies against relevant legislation and guidance.
- Testing Risk Assessments: Assessing whether risk assessments drive key decisions using player samples and practical tests.
- Evaluate Control Effectiveness: Utilizing document reviews, staff interviews, and customer sampling to verify consistent application.
- Mock Inspections: Building team confidence and setting expectations before official regulatory visits.
