Helping you to fight financial crime
Financial crime prevention, Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) are now significant line items in the operating budgets of all financial services organisations. Balancing the competing demands of operational efficiency with effective financial crime and AML/CFT risk mitigation and regulatory compliance remains a constant challenge.
We can help you proactively respond to financial crime threats by developing and improving your financial crime and AML/CFT framework. We can also assist you in addressing emerging financial crime threats, including those highlighted by regulators, as well as in managing known issues. We cover the full spectrum of financial crime and related areas, including AML/CFT, sanctions, bribery and corruption, fraud and theft, and misconduct.
