Compliance Audits & FSC Licence Defence

Regulated Entities

Regulatory scrutiny leaves no margin for administrative errors. For Management Companies, funds, and financial institutions, enforcement actions exploit the gap between written policies and actual daily execution.

Recover embeds directly within teams to clear due diligence backlogs, overhaul AML frameworks, and defend operating licences.

Aligning operations with AML/CFT standards, FIAMLA requirements, and FSC/FIU mandates. Preparing for regulatory audits and upgrading internal controls.

What puts your licences under strain

The risk of passive compliance

Generic, off-the-shelf policies without proof of live operational execution invite public censure, administrative fines, and immediate licence suspension.

Unresolved file backlogs

Lapses in ongoing due diligence, spanning UBO tracing, PEP screening, and Source of Funds verification, remain the primary trigger for regulatory penalties during on-site examinations.

Governance disconnects

Vague escalation channels between MLROs, executive board members, and regulatory authorities directly expose leadership to personal liability.

Strategic scope for regulated actors

Pre-Inspection Audits and Mock Regulatory Visits

We put your teams through the real thing: a simulated FSC or FIU visit, on-site. This mock audit digs through your complex case files and GoAML records to expose traceability gaps, and we roll out an emergency remediation plan to close them before the regulator ever shows up.


AML/CFT Framework and Risk Matrix Overhauls

We rebuild your internal procedures manuals and screening policies from scratch to meet FIAMLA’s strict requirements and FATF standards — recalibrating your Business Risk Assessment and Client Risk Assessment tools, and tightening the delegation chain, signing authorities, and second-line controls.


Licence Defence and Regulatory Disputes

When sanctions loom or suspension is on the table, we take the lead on every exchange with the supervisory authority — drafting formal responses to Deficiency Letters, building the Remediation Plan, and negotiating its timeline directly with the regulator.

A Three-Stage Deployment

1
Vulnerability Audit We start with a cold, unflinching audit of your highest-risk files and registers.
2
Framework Rebuild From there, we move into overhauling your documentation, upgrading your screening systems, and configuring GoAML.
3
Operational Readiness We train your team and put your directors through live scenarios so compliance becomes part of how the company actually runs, not just what's written down.
