What makes us "subject-matter experts?"

We have provided advice to governments and financial institutions relating to all aspects of financial crime compliance for more than twenty years. While based in Washington D.C., we have worked successfully not only within the U.S. regulatory regime, but also those of many countries and jurisdictions around the world, including Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Mauritania, Mexico, the Netherlands, the People’s Republic of China (Mainland), Singapore, and the United Kingdom.

With this background, our work is firmly grounded in legal and regulatory standards while being strongly informed by the practicalities of successful implementation. As regulatory scrutiny increases around the world, other consultants see the opportunity to profit and quickly gain a superficial level of knowledge that may get them through a procurement process but will often fail when it comes to producing actionable results for a costly engagement. Our approach also distinguishes us from those who simply tout “industry best practices” that are difficult/costly to confirm as accurate and can more likely be based in whatever the advisor did during his/her previous engagement.
