AML/CFT Core Services

Providing you strategic solutions against AML/CFT threats

The risk of non-compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”), and Counter Funding of Terrorism (“CFT”) requirements continues to increase, and as evidenced by a number of high profile fines and investigations in recent years, businesses are increasingly under pressure to identify new ways and means to manage their AML/CFT risks more effectively.

Whilst businesses are still updating their operations, systems and procedures, they also need to manage further change that is already lying on the horizon. Operating in such an environment presents numerous challenges and it is not uncommon that something slips through the net.

Growing pressure from Regulators to comply with AML/CFT rules and intense press coverage have pushed this topic to the top of Management’s agenda. The reputational threat, and the need for any business to build and retain trust of their customers, make it crucial to set up and maintain cost-efficient AML/CFT compliance measures and solutions.
