In recent years, firms across the globe, have experienced enormous pressure and challenges when it comes to financial crime (FC) compliance. The penalties for non-compliance in a timely fashion, include hefty fines, restrictions, and most of all, long-term reputational damage. This calls for exceptional expertise from the Lysis Group that can assist firms to develop bespoke FC frameworks with a consistent, yet sustainable approach when it comes to managing financial crime risks in the long-term for increased effectiveness and to drive efficiencies.
Our teams have extensive experience in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Client Lifecycle Management (CLM), Know Your Customer (KYC) and other financial crime requirements.
As global FC compliance experts, Lysis Financial has an extensive track record of helping firms to successfully achieve and maintain FC compliance by focusing on providing consulting services across the governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) landscape with the distinct objective of reducing the short-and long-term costs linked to compliance.
With ever changing legislation, all firms should be vigilant in identifying and protecting themselves against potential money laundering activities.
We have the necessary skills and experience to assist your firm to compile, review and optimise FC controls across the entire client lifecycle management (CLM) process.
We assist firms to obtain the required regulatory permissions to carry on regulated activities. This includes permission to register and trade as a crypto asset firm. Lysis can offer additional support in a regulated market.

While firms continue to standardise processes and controls to increase effectiveness and efficiency and invest heavily in automation, the “people” factor is not always taken into consideration for optimisation. As a result, the work output across teams and between teams, in different locations is often inconsistent and of variable quality. In addition, firms, small and large, run significant inefficiencies across FC operations which could lead to a substantial increase in the cost of compliance.
Our methodology allows us to identify the profiles of high-performing FC Know Your Customer (KYC) analysts.
