AML and sanctions testing

Don’t play roulette with AML and sanctions regulations


We get it: Staying compliant with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and sanctions regulations requires a significant investment of your time and resources. But getting hit with a massive penalty for violations is much worse.

We know these regulations and the agencies that enforce them extremely well. With independent testing, we can help you achieve and maintain compliance – quickly and efficiently.

The regulatory environment is complicated

Financial crime is governed by a web of complex regulations, and the ones that apply to banks and financial services companies can vary based on size, geography, lines of business, and other factors.

You want to stay in compliance, and you also need to keep your money from funding criminal activity or going into organizations that threaten global peace and commerce.

Independent testing from Crowe can help you figure out if your AML, fraud, and sanctions programs work the way they should and meet requirements of key regulations.

The burden of meeting AML and sanctions regulations can be heavy

Trying to work through new regulations or address a regulatory action on your own can put unsustainable pressure on your AML testing team.

Dealing with these challenges takes more than determination. It requires an approach that’s informed by deep expertise and powered by technology.

Our testing gauges your current level of compliance with AML and sanctions regulations efficiently and thoroughly. In the process, we identify possible issues you might have overlooked.

We also apply our technical expertise to provide workable suggestions for improvement and recommendations for corrective actions.

Imagine having an elite team working to keep you compliant

You can benefit from our extensive experience with testing AML and sanctions compliance and from our deep regulatory knowledge.

We dig deep into regulations and study them closely so that we understand all the requirements and how to comply with them.

We also carefully monitor changes to existing rules and guidance, and we’re able to adjust our approach accordingly.
