Department Overview

The Compliance Department is responsible for ensuring the firm operates in compliance with its regulatory obligations and has systems and controls for the prevention of financial crime.

Accordingly, the department is split into these three functions. Firstly, regulatory compliance provides relevant advice to the business and undertakes arms-length monitoring, acting in the capacity of a second line of defence unit. Secondly, the financial crime team undertakes the due diligence process for all client on-boarding and screening, monitors payments, and carries out periodic screening and KYC reviews and thirdly, the Senior Legal Advisor who provides legal leadership across the business by providing proactive, in depth, business focussed advice and analysing legal risk.

The Department seeks to educate the wider business about legal, regulatory and financial crime risks and requirements. The Department recognises the firm has grown rapidly and therefore system and controls may have to be developed concurrently with the business. While tactical solutions are deployed, the goal of the Department is to develop and implement scalable solutions that are not dependent on manual intervention.

Day-to-day tasks are derived from risk assessments with more robust processes and procedures built around the highest risk activities. Documenting procedures is key to ensure individuals are not exposed to subjective decision making. Financial crime prevention systems and controls must reflect the focus and challenge of the authorities and the high number of anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing external audits that the business faces.

While the Department seeks to understand the perspective of the business units who make up the first line of defence, the Department’s overriding responsibility is to ensure the firm avoids cultural failings and meets its regulatory obligations to avoid enforcement action, fines and reputational damage to the firm and/or its employees and greater legal and regulatory scrutiny.
