Preventing and detecting financial crime is rapidly becoming one of the greatest challenges for financial institutions – impacting not just monetary losses, but reputation, brand, culture, relationships, and regulatory censure. We help you build confidence in dealing with fast and evolving financial crime threats. We provide solutions tailored to your needs ranging from technology/software solutions, end-to-end outsourcing and provision of specialist resources, health checks to meet regulators expectations, design of policies and procedures/systems and processes to mitigate risks, support in remediation and recovery of regulatory and fraud related matters.

Cybersecurity

As businesses today are increasingly interconnected and dependent on digital business processes, cybersecurity is now a persistent business risk. It is no longer an issue that concerns only information technology; the financial, operational and reputational impacts have made this a C-suite and boardroom priority. We can help you shape a broader strategic response to cyber risk by helping you understand your current capability and putting in place a focused plan to target investment in the right places. To do this, we will focus on six key areas: risk, connections, people, technology, crisis and priorities.
