Financial crime obligations are getting harder to meet and the consequences of getting it wrong – enforcement action, licence conditions, reputational damage – are serious. We work with firms to build AML/CTF, sanctions and anti-bribery programs that are genuinely fit for purpose, not just compliant on paper.
That means AML/CTF programs and risk assessments that reflect your actual customer base and product set, transaction monitoring calibrated to your real risk profile, KYC frameworks that hold up under scrutiny, and sanctions screening processes that are operationally sustainable. For firms with cross-border operations or global investor bases, we bring experience navigating the intersection of Australian obligations with international regimes.
We also conduct independent evaluations of existing AML/CTF programs – reviewing your program against AUSTRAC expectations, stress-testing your controls, identifying gaps and providing a clear, prioritised remediation roadmap before a regulator does it for you. For firms that have received regulatory feedback or are responding to an AUSTRAC audit, we provide hands-on support to get programs back to where they need to be.
