Fighting financial crime
Services
We are a financial crime consultancy focused on working with major international banking organisations to address their financial crime risk in today’s highly regulated environment. A major part of our business has focused on financial crime compliance in anti-money laundering, economic sanctions and anti-bribery & corruption.
We deliver work across all three Lines of Defence as well as working with business operations. Typical engagements would include testing financial crime controls, looking back at failures in financial crime controls and delivering uplifts to the financial crime control environments.
Products
Often successful projects will involve a significant technology component. We develop bespoke tools and applications for our clients as well as offering a number of 'off-the-shelf' products.
We have designed, built and operated business-as-usual processes on an interim basis, including analytics databases, financial crime risk assessments and voluntary self-disclosure processes. In those cases, we designed the target operating model for the run-the-bank processes, transferred knowledge to the bank’s teams and handed the operations on to the client.
Our senior management team
We have 25+ years’ experience in the financial services industry. In that time we have gained a thorough working knowledge of the both UK and international regulations as it applies to financial crime risk and compliance.
We are based in Canary Wharf, London. We work in all jurisdictions across the globe including New York, Hong Kong, UAE and South Asia.
