Our Services
Helping you navigate and prevent financial crime risks with confidence.
Policies and Procedures
The establishment of comprehensive AML/CFT and sanctions policies is a fundamental obligation for all Maltese subject persons under the applicable legislative and regulatory framework. Such policies provide the structural foundation for an effective compliance programme, ensuring that organisations are equipped to identify, assess, and mitigate risks associated with money laundering, terrorist financing, and sanctions breaches. Clear, rigorously drafted policies promote consistency, support informed decision‑making, and demonstrate adherence to statutory duties and supervisory expectations.
We deliver meticulously tailored documentation aligned with Maltese law, enabling subject persons to maintain a robust governance framework and uphold the integrity of their operations.
Risk Assessments
The conduct of comprehensive risk assessments is a core obligation for all subject persons under the Prevention of Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorism Regulations and the FIAU Implementing Procedures. Business Risk Assessments, Customer Risk Assessments, and Jurisdictional Risk Assessments enable subject persons to identify, understand, and document their ML/FT risks in a structured and methodical manner. These assessments inform the application of the risk‑based approach, ensuring that controls, measures, and monitoring activities are commensurate with the risks identified.
We support subject persons in establishing the right risk assessments for their business activities in line with all applicable laws and regulations.
KYC & CDD Remediation
KYC and CDD are not a static, one-time process. Customer profiles change and so does risk. We conduct thorough reviews of existing customer data, identify gaps or outdated information, and remediate files to align with AML/CFT laws, FIAU requirements, and internal risk frameworks. We assist in streamlining the entire process, from risk assessments to documentation updates, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and audit‑ready records. This helps subject persons reduce regulatory exposure, strengthen their compliance posture, and maintain a clean, well‑governed customer portfolio.
Training
We provide specialised AML/CFT and sanctions compliance training tailored for Maltese subject persons. We deliver practical, scenario‑driven sessions designed to strengthen regulatory understanding, enhance risk awareness, and support effective implementation of internal controls. Our programmes cover obligations under Maltese and EU law, emerging typologies, sanctions screening expectations, and best‑practice governance frameworks. With a focus on clarity, relevance, and operational application, we equip staff with the knowledge and confidence needed to meet their statutory duties and uphold the highest standards of financial crime compliance.
Screening
We support organisations in meeting their statutory obligations through adverse media, PEP and sanctions screening. Our service ensures timely detection of potential matches, and clear guidance on escalation and remediation.
