Sanctions Screening and Compliance Playbook

Regulatory enforcement actions for AML failures have reached billions in fines. If your transaction monitoring is not tuned, your KYC is not risk-based, and your SAR process is not documented, you are on borrowed time.

The average AML fine exceeds $10 million. Consent orders restrict your ability to onboard new customers, launch new products, and expand into new markets. Remediation programmes cost multiples of prevention.

Go from a compliance checklist to a risk-based, examiner-ready financial crime programme with every control designed, tested, and documented to withstand regulatory scrutiny.

AML programme remediation costs $20 million to $100 million at major institutions. Even mid-size firms spend $500,000 to $2 million on programme enhancements. This playbook gives you the same structured methodology, tools, and frameworks for a fraction of the cost.
