01
Licensing and new-regime programme build
The programme behind the filing is ours, working on day one.
What we test, build and deliver
Trigger
A new licence, market or regime brings an activity into scope.
What the examiner tests
A real risk assessment, policies mapped to the local framework, working controls.
What we build
Risk assessment, regulator-mapped policies, CDD and EDD, screening and monitoring logic, MLRO framework.
Deliverable
An examination-ready programme file.
For
A first licence, new market, or new activity.
02
Remediation
Not a policy rewrite. An evidenced rebuild that closes the regulator's file.
What we test, build and deliver
Trigger
A deficiency flagged by a regulator, auditor or correspondent, with a deadline.
What the examiner tests
Every finding fixed at root cause, holding at the next inspection.
What we build
Gap analysis, prioritised plan, rebuilt controls, look-back reviews, evidence pack per finding.
Deliverable
A closed-out file with the evidence to lift the measure.
For
Operators under enforcement, supervisory direction, de-risking, or a qualified finding.
03
Outsourced and bridge MLRO plus managed FIU
The MLRO seat cannot hold a name that never works the file. We take it and run the function behind it.
What we test, build and deliver
Trigger
The officer has gone, or a new licence needs one at launch.
What the examiner tests
A competent, independent officer with authority to act.
What we build and run
A named MLRO or bridge officer plus the managed FIU: triage, investigation, STR and SAR decisioning, escalation, reporting.
Deliverable
A staffed MLRO and FIU function with a documented trail and clean handover.
For
A vacant or overloaded seat, a new licensee at launch, or a group needing surge capacity.
04
Independent AML audit
Testing must be independent of those who run the programme. We are that reviewer, and only that.
What we test, build and deliver
Trigger
A periodic independent-review obligation, or a board wanting assurance before an examination.
What the examiner tests
A genuinely independent review that tested controls in operation, not policy on the page.
What we build
A scoped audit: design and operating-effectiveness testing, file sampling, screening validation, governance review.
Deliverable
A board-ready report: tested findings, ratings and a prioritised action list.
For
Boards, audit committees, operators meeting a periodic-review obligation, and investors assessing a target.
05
Sanctions, export-control and integrity due diligence
Screening a name against a list is not due diligence. We resolve ownership, clear the corridor, check cargo, and build the FATF Travel Rule into transfers.
What we test, build and deliver
Trigger
A counterparty or corridor to clear, a shipment to check, or a transfer needing Travel Rule data.
What the examiner tests
Ownership resolved through opaque structures, exposure assessed against the relevant regimes, data travelling with each transfer.
What we build
Enhanced sanctions and integrity diligence, beneficial-ownership resolution, export-control and dual-use screening, Travel Rule implementation.
Deliverable
A sourced diligence file with a clear risk conclusion, plus a live Travel Rule control where relevant.
For
Operators onboarding high-risk counterparties, VASPs implementing the Travel Rule, and firms with export-control exposure.

Independence is the product. Here is what we decline.

/We do not file your application. Lawyers file. We build what sits behind it.
/We sell no software and resell no platform. We are the reviewer, not the vendor.
/We take no commissions and no referral fees. Nothing we recommend earns us a margin.
/We do not staff the work with juniors. Senior practitioners only.
