Anti Money Laundering

Regulation & Compliance
Many of our clients are regulated by the Financial Services Authority in the UK or the US Securities and Exchange Commission. There is an increasing requirement for regulated firms to conduct proper inquiries in order to 'know your client.' Regulated companies are also required to 'perform appropriate pre-employment checks' on new employees. Such regulatory demands have led us to increasingly support our clients in conducting discreet inquiries into their new clients as well as performing pre-employment and vetting checks. Below are some useful links to the regulatory bodies:
