Our Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Compliance Unit assists organisations by offering tailored support and solutions to meet regulatory requirements. Over the past years, we have worked closely and cooperated both with the competent authorities, as well as various business entities, to deliver effective solutions in managing risks relating to non-compliance with financial regulations. Our team includes Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (CAMS) with extensive experience in the AML area.
With hefty fines being applied by the financial authorities for AML non-compliance, being on top of your game, and having the necessary internal controls to ensure that you are in line with regulatory requirements, will allow your firm to safeguard its reputation and preserve its financial stability
Organisations need to develop a robust regulatory compliance function in order to achieve their business objectives. This should include strong AML/CFT policies and procedures commensurate with the company’s risk appetite and the level of risks that it is exposed to, whilst meeting the stringent regulatory obligations
