Our client had a requirement to review and update its AML Framework to take account of the Fifth Money Laundering Directive and also some changes in its business model.
Lysis conducted a review of the firm's AML Governance and Compliance capabilities and then authored changes to the framework and policy and procedure documents in order to ensure they met the new requirements and were fit for purpose for the evolving business model. We then worked with the firm to embed the new processes and controls including setting up a new European Risk Committee and defining its membership and terms of reference.
A London based financial institution with global reach had Lysis preform an AML Health Check.
A major European-domiciled Cryptoasset Exchange with global reach required a gap analysis to identify all deficiencies in their Customer Risk Rating Model and a roadmap for improving it.
A crypto asset custodian based in the U.K. with global reach approached Lysis with the request to assist them with the process to obtain registration from the FCA which would enable them to operate in the UK market as a crypto asset business. Due to the holding company’s strong global footprint, part of the FCA requirements for registration included the need for a UK based money laundering reporting officer (MLRO).
