Risk & Compliance
How we can help
At times, organisations must seek expert support to help them manage risks and address compliance challenges. Effective risk management and compliance programs are critical to avoiding violations that could restrict an organisation’s ability to operate, tarnish its corporate reputation and impact its business relationships. Our clients rely on FTI Consulting to help them overcome these challenges. In the Middle East, our senior professionals come from a range of backgrounds including regulators, central banks and in-house compliance teams. Their focus is on delivering enterprise-wide risk management and compliance solutions that promote business transformation and growth and support ethical business behaviour. We offer end-to-end industry-specific and expertise-led advisory services to support risk management and compliance programs.
We help clients assess risk; enhance control environments; perform focused, value-added data analysis; and undertake transaction and model examination, utilising deep subject matter expertise and robust technical and analytical tools. Clients engage us to analyse policies and procedures, identify gaps or inefficiencies in existing safeguards, and design and implement governance and quantitative controls and models that rehabilitate program and management deficiencies.

Countries are enacting increasingly complex anti-bribery statutes and regulations while simultaneously enforcing these laws with greater cross-border enforcement rigor and coordination. Organisations and their outside counsel rely on us to help evaluate and enhance compliance programmes as needed, including addressing regulatory expectations around internal controls and continuous monitoring. We understand specific challenges such as internal control enhancement and the use of data analytics to enable a client to use its own data to maintain and enhance its compliance programme.
Anti-Money Laundering Advisory

Companies face unprecedented scrutiny and bear increasing responsibility in the global war on money laundering and terrorist financing. Regulatory scrutiny is driving change, and companies must comply with regulatory standards or face enforcement and costly fines. FTI Consulting is often engaged when organisations, external counsel and regulators need deep advisory on these issues. For decades, we’ve developed a deep understanding of AML, financial fraud, sanctions and anti-corruption matters. We understand the laws and regulations and have developed effective methodologies to launch and remediate compliance and governance programmes in the ever-evolving and developing space.

Every corporation faces enterprise risks or must comply with mandated regulatory settlements that require independent monitoring. These ongoing challenges demand an operating environment that includes robust internal controls and continually upgraded compliance policies. Many Middle Eastern organisations rely on us for trusted, independent expert guidance. Our senior industry specialists and compliance experts are widely recognised for their approach to testing, enhancing and monitoring corporate compliance programmes. In matters involving allegations of fraud or other malfeasance where a monitor, examiner or receiver may be appointed, we help implement a plan of action and communicate with multiple constituencies.

Organisations in every geographic and industry sector face a wide variety of strategic, financial, operational and compliance-related risks. These risks relate to internal business strategies, initiatives, processes, people, models, data and technology and external conditions, such as market forces, regulation, enforcement trends and stakeholder activism. From financial performance to bribery and corruption to diversity and inclusion, such risks can adversely impact many areas within an organisation. Clients engage FTI Consulting to develop strong enterprise risk management (“ERM”) strategies and programmes that identify and manage these risks, evaluate risks versus rewards and transform risks into opportunities.
