Advisory
Fraud, Financial Crime & Digital Asset Advisory
Fraud is a control failure before it is a loss. We find where the controls give way, harden those points, build the disclosure route that surfaces the next one early, and cover the financial-crime and digital-asset obligations that sit alongside them.
Our method
Engagement Method
- 01
Fraud Risk Assessment
Scheme by scheme, we establish which frauds the current control set would fail to prevent or detect - and which it would catch.
- 02
Exposure Mapping
Procurement, vendor master, payroll and expense cycles are traced end to end, because that is where value leaves an organisation.
- 03
Programme Build
Anti-fraud controls, AML/CFT policies, KYC and CDD thresholds, screening design, and a whistleblowing channel staff will actually use.
- 04
Response & Testing
A documented response plan so the first hours of an incident are not improvised, and independent testing that evidences the programme works rather than that a policy exists.
Tested against
FATF Recommendations
Financial Action Task Force
The global AML/CFT standard that national regimes are themselves assessed against.
FATF Guidance for Virtual Assets and VASPs
Financial Action Task Force
Applies the standard to virtual asset businesses, including Recommendation 16 - the travel rule.
