How we helped our clients
As a consequence of a policy amendment by the regulatory authorities, our client was required to reclassify and repaper its customer accounts with exposure to the shipping industry. This involved coordination of measures between Compliance and the Front Office, to establish the requirements for reclassification and the actions needed to comply with them.
Deloitte established remediation teams in Switzerland, the Bahamas and Singapore, to prioritize remediation efforts and carry out gap analysis (between current procedures and regulatory requirements) and a transaction and AML-alert review. Shortcomings in the collaboration between the Front Office and Compliance were identified and remedied, and Front Office staff were given training in compliance standards and awareness.
The outcome for the client included globally-aligned KYC standards and repapered accounts and greater awareness of KYC and AML measures among Front Office staff; and in addition, a structured approach was established to performing any further clean-up exercises in the future.
