Risk & Compliance
AML compliance
An anti-money-laundering programme sized to the business, with every obligation mapped to a named owner and to the evidence that proves it happened.
What it is
AML programmes rarely fail on policy. They fail on ownership and evidence: the obligation exists, a document describes it, and no individual is accountable for the specific act that satisfies it. Under inspection that gap is immediate.
Who it applies to
Who this is for.
- Firms in regulated sectors with AML obligations
- Businesses appointing a compliance officer for the first time
- Entities whose programme was written but never operationalised
- Groups needing independent review of an existing programme
What we do
The work itself.
Assess the money-laundering and financial-crime risk actually carried
Design a programme proportionate to that assessment
Map each obligation to a named owner and a defined evidence artefact
Train the people performing the controls
Test independently on a cycle and report findings to the board
What you provide
What we will need from you.
Gathering these before the first conversation shortens everything that follows.
- Current policies and procedures, if any
- Customer and counterparty profile information
- Details of products, services and delivery channels
- Records of any previous review or inspection
Timeline
A risk assessment and programme design typically takes three to six weeks. Independent testing then runs on an agreed cycle.
Rates, thresholds and filing dates change. We confirm the current position for your entity in writing rather than publishing figures that may date.
Questions
What people ask.
Policies are the starting point. What matters is whether the controls they describe are performed, by whom, and whether that can be evidenced.

What follows
- A person in the relevant practice reads it, not a routing queue.
- One reply that already contains a view, not a request to book a call.
- A written scope and fee basis, or a straight answer that there is no work to do.
