We conduct specialised background checks on individuals and corporate entities to ensure regulatory compliance and mitigate financial crime risks.
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening is the process of checking individuals and organisations to help prevent money laundering, terrorist financing and other financial crime.
In the UK, AML checks are required under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017 and related regulatory guidance.
Sanctions checks involve screening individuals and organisations against official sanctions lists issued by the UK and other international authorities.
It is a criminal offence in the UK to deal with a sanctioned person or entity without appropriate authorisation.
A Politically Exposed Person (PEP) is someone who holds, or has held, a prominent public function.
PEPs are considered higher risk due to their position and are subject to enhanced due diligence under UK law.
Adverse media screening involves reviewing publicly available information to identify negative or concerning reports about an individual or organisation.
Screening may be repeated periodically or when circumstances change, in line with UK regulatory requirements.
