Independent Governance Review of a Crypto Exchange
A U.K. domiciled crypto exchange with global reach.
A requirement from the client’s payment processing partner to carry out an independent maturity assessment review of the exchange’s governance framework and operational controls.
Lysis conducted an independent maturity assessment of the exchange’s AML governance framework including the operational systems and controls utilising the Arctic Intelligence AML HealthCheck solution.
Lysis reviewed the exchange’s AML/CTF framework which resulted in the assessment where a percentage of 83% fully compliant were achieved and 17% achieved partial compliance, meaning compliance requirements were met but some gaps were identified. A remedial programme was set up for the 17% and consequently the payment processing partner was happy to keep the facilities open.
Lysis Group delivered a tailored, regulator-ready EWRA for a leading payments firm, enhancing risk visibility, governance, and compliance readiness.
A large operator of bank infrastructure wanted to develop a shared operating model and managed service for client lifecycle management (CLM), anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC).
Although the client is based in the US, they have European subsidiaries which include the UK and therefore required Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registration. In order to obtain registration as a crypto asset firm in the U.K. they had to comply with specific FCA requirements.
