Our client had a new executive-level Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) and some new board members. Our client asked Lysis to run an AML Masterclass for UK AML Regulations.
Lysis leveraged its extensive library of off-the-shelf training material to structure a core course for our client's executives. We also used our knowledge of the firm to tailor the material to the requirements of their specific business sector and model. We delivered three two-hour masterclasses. Subsequently the FCA approved the MLRO and raised no concerns about AML governance.
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).
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.
One of our client's banks has flagged areas of our client's Ant-Money Laundering (AML) Governance and Compliance operation as a potential cause for concern. Our client asked Lysis to perform an independent review for them to establish if anything was genuinely wrong.
