Research
We conduct research for financial institutions and RegTechs, performing both desktop research and primary research through surveys and interviews. We provide regulatory mapping and horizon scanning; market research and benchmarking; and product development support for RegTechs. We draw upon our extensive knowledge from consultancy engagements and our active role in industry groups and the FinTech FinCrime Exchange (FFE).
Interim roles
We can fulfil a range of interim roles such as Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO), Head of Compliance, Head of KYC and Onboarding Team Lead. These engagements are designed on a short term basis, to provide expertise where you have an immediate need.
Retained advisory support
We provide support on a retainer basis, to provide financial crime expertise when answering specific questions or dealing with individual issues. For example, firms can draw upon a set number of hours per month to get a second opinion on interpreting regulatory changes or applying a risk-based approach to new groups of target high-risk customers.
