Key areas of
financial crime prevention

We help financial institutions and corporates turn regulatory demands into controls that work in practice.

Risk assessment and customer due diligence

  • Map inherent risk across customers, products, channels, and geography
  • Test control effectiveness and calculate residual risk with inspection-ready documentation
  • Deliver a business-wide risk assessment
  • Redesign KYC, ODD, and EDD as one integrated model, covering onboarding and review

Governance and operating model

  • Translate AMLR, AMLD6, and RTS requirements into one risk-based governance framework
  • Design your operating model across six dimensions: risk, organisation, people, process, performance, and technology
  • Define clear roles and accountabilities across the first and second lines of defence
  • Establish a fixed annual cycle for review, reporting, and board follow-up

Sanctions and transaction monitoring

  • Assess sanctions exposure against EU, UN, and OFAC regimes with a structured assessment
  • Build a sanctions framework covering exposure, policy, escalation, and ownership
  • Design and strengthen transaction monitoring to identify, assess and correctly escalate suspicious patterns across the customer portfolio
  • Established structured alert and case handling that enables consistent and well-documented investigations which supports compliance reporting obligations

Supervisory readiness and remediation

  • Run remediation as a governed programme with named owners per finding
  • Trace root causes, not just symptoms, before designing corrective actions
  • Prepare documentation, storyline, and evidence before the inspection begins
  • Close orders with tested, validated, and inspection-ready evidence of effectiveness

Competence development and training

  • Map competence gaps, role by role, from board to alert handlers
  • Deliver role-based training across subject areas, from fundamentals to sanctions expertise
  • Use case-based typologies and AI-supported scenarios to close skill gaps, measured before and after
  • Certify and refresh competence on a cycle that tracks regulatory change

AI, data, and technology

  • Build AI governance for model risk, explainability, and validation in line with AMLA’s forthcoming guidelines
  • Deliver model cards, validation reports, and bias tests ready for supervisory review
  • Close data quality gaps and establish end-to-end data lineage from source to reporting
  • Run a scoped AI pilot with clear success criteria before scaling to all use cases

Gap analysis and regulatory roadmap

  • Map current practice against the new AML package, requirement by requirement
  • Score every gap by legal risk, complexity, and time remaining to the 2027 deadline
  • Turn findings into a prioritised, owner-assigned gap list that leadership can act on
  • Benchmark your position against national supervisors' current and expected supervisory practice

Interim compliance leadership and advisory support

  • Deploy interim MLRO, CCO, or FCP leadership at short notice
  • Bring hands-on operational experience from senior roles including CEO, CRO, CCO, and MLRO
  • Act as an independent second opinion on decisions that carry regulatory risk
  • Bridge capacity gaps during inspections, restructuring, or leadership transitions
