Strengthen anti-money laundering (“AML”) risk management and compliance and respond effectively to investigations with independent AML guidance and end-to-end investigative support.
Clients across industries rely on us to assess and remediate AML programmes; strengthen governance and controls; validate transaction-monitoring systems; and conduct model validations, transaction lookbacks and account reviews related to potential wrongdoing.
Our teams bring decades of experience across AML, financial fraud, sanctions and anti-corruption matters. We have a cross-disciplinary team made up of former regulators, law enforcement personnel, data scientists, in-house compliance officers and seasoned consultants. We understand evolving laws and regulatory expectations and apply established methodologies to evaluate and enhance compliance frameworks.
When investigations occur, we combine investigative expertise with technology, data analytics, digital forensics and e-discovery to identify suspicious activity, quickly find facts, protect sensitive materials and improve efficiency. We also serve as a skilled person and provide expert witness testimony when required.
Evaluate and strengthen AML and financial crime programmes. We review policies, controls, governance and monitoring systems, then deliver targeted remediation plans that align with regulatory requirements and expectations — and the risks of the business.
Mitigate exposure to high-risk clients, transactions and business partners. We assess Know Your Customer (“KYC”), Client Due Diligence (“CDD”) and Enhanced Due Diligence (“EDD”) to identify and verify customers and beneficial owners, validate business legitimacy and flag risks.
Identify and fix gaps in monitoring governance. We conduct proactive and regulator-driven transaction lookbacks and validate historical activity processes to ensure proper documentation escalation and governance.
Build or enhance end-to-end AML programmes — from governance and staffing models to monitoring frameworks, testing and internal controls — so your compliance function stays resilient as risks evolve.
Respond to allegations of money laundering, sanctions breaches or fraud. We conduct end-to-end investigations, review accounts and products and serve as a skilled person in enforcement matters.
Resolve issues triggered by consent orders, negative news or transactions. We review accounts, account holders and products to uncover misconduct, assess exposure and inform remediation plans.
Uncover evidence and protect data integrity in investigations. Our forensic specialists recover deleted files, collect and preserve data across devices and cloud systems and apply analytics and e-discovery for rapid fact-finding.
Navigate evolving digital-asset regulations. We advise on crypto and money services business (“MSB”) compliance, assess controls for new financial products and apply analytics to detect illicit activities in fast-moving environments.
Our teams include former regulators, law enforcement officials, compliance leaders, auditors, data scientists and forensic specialists to help organisations manage risk, meet regulatory expectations and resolve complex financial crime challenges.
