Why Professional MLRO Support is Vital
The role of an MLRO carries significant legal and personal liability. We support your designated officer or provide interim advisory to ensure:
Reporting Precision: Expert vetting of internal reports to ensure that only high-quality, actionable Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs) reach the FRC.
Regulatory Liaison: A professional, calm, and informed point of contact for the CBK, IRA, and FRC during inquiries or inspections.
Reduced Liability: Protecting your leadership team by ensuring that reporting timelines and legal thresholds are strictly met.
Scope of Our MLRO Services
We offer end-to-end support to fortify your reporting function:
STR/SAR Vetting: Reviewing internal disclosures and providing expert guidance on whether they meet the threshold for formal reporting.
Annual MLRO Reporting: Drafting the comprehensive annual AML/CFT report required for senior management and regulatory bodies.
Regulatory Communications: Managing correspondence and data requests from the Financial Reporting Centre and other competent authorities.
Internal Escalation Frameworks: Designing the workflow that allows staff to report “red flags” to the MLRO securely and confidentially.
Ongoing Advisory: Providing a “help desk” for your MLRO to discuss complex cases and emerging financial crime trends.
