WHERE SUPPORT HELPS

When additional AML support is useful

01

Growth has moved faster than the controls

Customer volumes, products or markets have grown, but onboarding, review and escalation processes have not developed at the same pace.

02

EDD decisions are inconsistent

Similar cases are being handled differently because analysts are applying different evidence standards or escalation thresholds.

03

Audit or compliance findings are still open

Actions may already have been agreed, but the underlying work, supporting evidence or ownership is not yet sufficient to close the finding properly.

04

Technology does not match the actual process

A new tool has been introduced, or is being considered, but exceptions, review steps and final responsibility have not yet been worked through properly.

DELIVERY OPTIONS

Ways to engage

01

Financial Crime Control Review

A focused review of selected files, procedures, controls and management information to identify the main gaps and determine which should be addressed first.

Discuss a control review
02

AML Remediation and QA Support

Hands-on support to work through a defined backlog or set of findings while improving quality control, reporting and the consistency of the work delivered.

Discuss remediation support
03

Interim and Fractional Compliance Support

Experienced AML and financial crime capacity for a defined period. This can include complex reviews, escalations, quality control, team coordination and responsibility for agreed workstreams.

Discuss interim support
04

CDD Automation and Compliance Technology

Review where technology can reduce repetitive CDD work, translate compliance requirements into workable process and system requirements, and support testing and implementation. Final customer-risk and escalation decisions remain with qualified employees.

Discuss an automation review

PRACTICAL OUTPUTS

What you receive

  • Findings ranked by severity and supported by the reviewed evidence
  • Revised procedures, work instructions or review guidance where required
  • QA results and analysis of recurring issues
  • Management reporting showing progress and outstanding work
  • Remediation actions with owners, target dates and closure evidence
  • Process and system requirements where technology forms part of the assignment

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

From complex customer files to team-wide controls

Next Horizons is built on more than ten years of experience across banking and other regulated financial environments.

During the Holland Casino Online assignment, the work developed from complex customer investigations into responsibility for a team of around 15 FEC analysts, including procedures, quality assurance, escalation, management information and audit support.

Earlier banking roles at ING, ABN AMRO and Rabobank provided a practical foundation in customer risk, KYC, financing and regulated customer processes. Later assignments added high-value CDD/EDD, financial analysis and source-of-funds work.

The same assignment can therefore cover individual complex cases as well as the procedures, QA or controls behind them.
