Our consultancy tailors its services primarily for financial institutions and corporate clients with a view to minimising fraud and money laundering risks.
In 2004-2005, the company had been engaged as an Associate Consultant on a major AML Project in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, funded by a leading European donor bank and government and aimed at raising standards of awareness and best practice in developing economies. This involved extensive travel to the former Soviet republics in Central Asia, researching and understanding the current AML regimes, liaising with central banks and government bodies. The key deliverable was a two-day workshop on AML/CFT controls tailored specifically for front-line staff, senior management and regulators and delivered onsite in Central Asia.
The company has also designed, developed and facilitated a programme of 2-day AML Workshops for the banking sector in several Asian countries while a leading Swiss bank retained our services to conduct AML refresher training for its staff in Hong Kong.
In addition, the company has been retained on numerous occasions over the last 10 years to facilitate 4-day workshops in Hong Kong on Compliance and Corporate Governance on behalf of the International Compliance Association, in addition to assisting them to deliver exclusive compliance training programs for major institutional clients in Hong Kong, Manila and Shanghai.
In 2017, the company has been engaged as consultant to a team tasked with identifying and remediating deficiencies in the AML/CFT compliance controls of a PRC-owned securities trading firm that had been fined by the Securities & Futures Commission. Tasks included the evaluation and risk assessment of identified shortcomings and suggestions on appropriate steps to improve controls and meet SFC requirements.
Mr Platts was also engaged as an expert witness to provide insight into market practice on AML controls in relation to a major corporation that went into liquidation, exposing serious irregularities in patterns of payments to related companies.
