One of our client's banks flagged areas of our client's Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Governance and Compliance operation as a potential cause for concern. There was a danger our client would be de-banked. Our client asked Lysis to perform an independent review for them to establish if anything was genuinely wrong, including discussing the issues with the bank in question to determine precisely what their concerns were.

The recommendations included:
Our client then asked Lysis to work with them to implement the changes above, including liaising with the bank to make sure they were happy with the new arrangements. Lysis was also asked to take over the transaction monitoring operation on an on-going basis.
Our client was setting up a new gaming licensing and taxation authority for a national government and sought external support to develop its Compliance and AML Framework.
