High Risk & Critical Incident Support

Despite best efforts, many organizations can unexpectedly find themselves in a high-pressure, high-risk situation. Facing the consequences of potentially illegal activities, such as financial penalties, legal consequences, regulatory investigations and damage to reputation and stakeholder trust, it can be difficult to work out what immediate action needs to be taken. Navigating complex compliance issues while also handling an emergency response can feel overwhelming and isolating.

Our Advisory Services team has extensive crisis experience and can provide clarity on the extent of the risk, a plan to reduce further risk, and support to manage the practical response and regain control of the situation. Avallone’s Advisory Services team also supports with communication with regulators and stakeholders, and can advise on strengthening controls to prevent future incidents.

SOLUTIONS TO MEET YOUR KYC NEEDS

Challenges solved by Advisory Services

challenge #1

Securing high-level support from senior compliance experts

It’s hard to find senior expertise in the field of banking, compliance and KYC / CDD. The long-term commitments and costs associated with permanent hires also means that in-house recruitment is not a preferred option for many organizations.

Additionally, support may only required for one-off foundational work, or for a defined period of time.

The result

Expert support from team with 50+ years of compliance and risk experience

Easy access to broad expertise with extensive industry experience. Services are available when needed, and are adapted to suit each organization.

Meaning that:

  • High-level guidance is available when required, for the specific duration or scope of each project, without long-term commitments or costs associated with permanent hires.
  • Organizations get access to expert and neutral advice, informed by up-to-date knowledge of the compliance and regulatory landscape.
  • Dedicated, specialized focus on specific compliance work ensures that projects are delivered on time, without the need to juggle multiple internal priorities.

challenge #2

Need to meet specific regulatory requirements

Organizations can be suddenly required to meet new requirements - whether due to expansion into new markets or jurisdictions, internal changes, increased scrutiny or enforcement, or updates in regulations.Without expert guidance on hand, it can be difficult and stressful to navigate this complex environment, and ensure that every area is managed effectively and on time.

The result

With expert guidance, all your boxes are checked

With up-to-date knowledge of the regulatory landscape, Avallone’s Advisory Services team acts as a trusted partner offering guided support throughout this process.

Meaning that:

  • Organizations get expert support to navigate complex regulatory changes confidently.
  • Seeking external support ensures that business continuity is maintained throughout the process, and that important deadlines are met.
  • Organizations, regulators and key stakeholders are reassured that regulatory complexities are handled effectively, and that financial and reputational risk is proactively mitigated.
A STRATEGIC APPROACH

How we work: Our Financial Crime Prevention Framework

Our holistic methodology for aligning your KYC, AML and Sanctions work

The Financial Crime Prevention (FCP) Framework is Avallone’s unique way of empowering Advisory Services clients with a structured, risk-based approach to combat money laundering, fraud, bribery, corruption and sanctions violations.

Tailored to each organization’s specific set-up and needs, the framework is developed using a combination of information gathered through workshops and conversations with internal teams, as well as existing policies and procedures.

It includes a complete FCP Risk Assessment, and clearly defined Roles and Responsibilities. We also support the development and integration of your internal policies: from prohibited transactions to global safeguarding and treasury risk escalation - ensuring consistency across jurisdictions and departments.

With supporting procedures, guides, and templates built directly into the Avallone platform, your team is empowered to confidently respond to KYC requests, maintain data accuracy and escalate concerns effectively.
