Financial crime is an increasing concern for all financial institutions, from the largest and internationally active global financial institutions to local banks. Preventing and detecting financial crimes is to become one of their biggest challenges, the impact of which extends well beyond monetary losses to reputation and brand, employee morale, business relations, as well as regulatory sanctions.

Regulators and law enforcement agencies are focused on ensuring that financial institutions are in compliance with increasingly complex regulatory requirements in the context of financial crime prevention.

Our areas of particular expertise include AML/KYC, fraud, economic sanctions (e.g. OFAC) and cybercrime, as well as anti-bribery and corruption, as well as all aspects of transaction surveillance and monitoring. We work with you to come up with innovative and advanced solutions for responding to Financial Crime incidents, remediating past deficiencies, developing enhanced operating models, and optimising transaction monitoring systems.
