Navigate the AML Maze: Holistic Risk Management Solutions
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) threats are constantly evolving, posing significant risks to businesses of all sizes. The Egmont Group, a network of financial intelligence units (FIUs), estimates that over USD 2 trillion worth of suspicious activity reports (SARs) were filed globally in 2021. This highlights the need for a comprehensive AML risk management strategy, particularly for businesses operating in high-risk regions identified by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) due to weak AML frameworks.
At Consilium Advisory, we offer a comprehensive suite of AML risk management consulting services designed to help you proactively identify, assess, and mitigate AML risks within your organization, regardless of your location.
Beyond Compliance: Embracing a Risk-Based Approach
Traditional, checklist-based AML compliance approaches can be cumbersome and ineffective. We advocate for a risk-based approach that tailors your AML program to your specific risk profile, industry, geographic footprint, and transaction patterns. This ensures efficient resource allocation and focuses efforts on areas posing the highest risk, particularly when operating in high-risk regions.
