Lysis worked closely with the client in preparing the letter of response to the regulator highlighting priorities and commitments linked to specific timelines which was detailed in a roadmap. Lysis also delivered a number of activities including the high-level design of a robust financial crime framework, rewrote their policies and procedures, uplifted the client's risk assessment and their financial crime governance structure, improved their Know Your Customer (KYC) processes and uplifted the Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) procedures.
