Business Issue

A bank engaged fscom to strengthen its Financial Crime infrastructure in response to immediate concerns raised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), while also ensuring long-term Business-As-Usual (BAU) compliance. The bank required a tailored solution that addressed both strategic and operational regulatory requirements.

Solution

fscom carried out a comprehensive assessment, including a review of past FCA findings. Based on this analysis, we developed and delivered a robust, customised financial crime framework with clear, practical recommendations. The framework offered maximum oversight and provided expert guidance to support key personnel in understanding and meeting their regulatory obligations.

Benefits

The new framework delivered clarity, structure, and assurance, covering both the strategic direction and day-to-day operations of the bank’s financial crime controls. As a result, the client was better positioned to meet regulatory expectations and maintain a strong internal compliance posture.
