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 crypto asset firm domiciled in the US asked Lysis to support the firm's financial crime framework and policy creation for transaction monitoring across the UK, US, and for the rest of the firm's global customer base to improved risk management, quality and increased operational efficiency.
Lysis enabled a major US crypto exchange to achieve UK FCA registration through full regulatory transformation, governance design, and compliance support.
Our client had a substantial backlog of transaction alerts. They were concerned that these included a number of true positives that therefore indicated suspicious activity and required reporting.
