Strategic support to help you stay ahead of financial crime risks
The risk of non-compliance with Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) and Counter-Funding of Terrorism (“CFT”) regulations is rising. With increased scrutiny, high-profile fines and a constantly evolving regulatory landscape, businesses are under growing pressure to manage their ML/FT risks more effectively.
Many are still updating internal systems and processes, while already having to prepare for what’s next. In this environment, compliance gaps can easily occur, even in well-resourced teams.
As regulatory expectations grow and reputational risk intensifies, AML/CFT has been pushed to the top of management’s agenda. The reputational threat, and the need for any business to build and retain their customers’ trust, make it crucial to set up and maintain cost-efficient AML/CFT compliance measures and solutions.
At PwC, our Financial Crime Compliance team brings together deep technical knowledge and hand-on experience across AML/CFT regulation.
