Lysis reviewed the firm's business model and mapped it to UK regulations. We then mapped that to the firm's policies, processes and controls and documented evidence to demonstrate that the firm had suitable controls to meet its regulatory obligations. A small number of areas were found to be sub-standard and were remediated.
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 was applying for Payment Services permissions from the Central Bank of Ireland and required support in defining and documenting the Governance and Compliance framework.
