Compliance & Financial Crime

Risk-based compliance, AML and financial crime frameworks designed around the actual business model.

Where this tends to matter

Different sectors reach the same problem from different directions.

The scope changes according to the regulatory perimeter, business model, maturity of the firm and the decision that needs to be made. RCC starts with that context rather than forcing every client into the same template.

What is usually happening

The point at which outside support becomes useful.

AML, sanctions, fraud or compliance controls that do not match the risk profile

Policy frameworks that are difficult to operate or evidence

Weak monitoring, escalation or MLRO reporting arrangements

Regulatory remediation following audit, bank or supervisor findings

How RCC approaches it

Work backwards from the decision, obligation and evidence required.

Assess financial crime and regulatory control effectiveness

Design or remediate AML, sanctions, KYC/KYB and monitoring frameworks

Build compliance monitoring and reporting that produces usable evidence

Support MLRO, compliance officer and senior management accountability

What an engagement can produce

Outputs should be usable after the consultant leaves.

The exact package depends on the mandate. These are examples of the work that may sit behind the engagement rather than a fixed shopping list.
