AML / CFT Advisory

Compliance is our priority. Trust is our promise.

CounterAct Consult partners with financial institutions and regulated businesses to detect, prevent, and respond to money laundering, fraud, and the financing of terrorism.

What we do

Specialist services in financial-crime prevention

End-to-end AML/CFT programs tailored to your institution's regulatory footprint, risk appetite, and operational reality.

  • Money-laundering prevention

    Program design, KYC/CDD frameworks, and transaction-screening controls that stop illicit funds before they enter your systems.

  • Fraud detection

    Behavioural analytics, red-flag models, and investigative workflows that surface fraud earlier and reduce loss exposure.

  • Suspicious-transaction monitoring

    Rule tuning, alert triage, and STR/SAR reporting workflows that meet regulator expectations without drowning analysts in noise.

  • Terrorism-financing prevention

    Sanctions and PEP screening, name-matching calibration, and enhanced due diligence for high-risk corridors and typologies.

  • Financial-crime compliance

    Independent testing, gap assessments, and remediation roadmaps aligned to FATF standards and local regulatory obligations.

  • Regulatory guidance

    Practical advisory on new rules, examination readiness, and policy drafting — translating regulation into operational controls.

Our expertise

Deep specialism, applied where it matters

Our consultants have led AML/CFT functions inside banks, fintechs, payment institutions, and regulators. That operational grounding means our advice is grounded in what actually works — not just what the manual says.

  • Program design aligned to FATF Recommendations and local law
  • Sanctions, PEP, and adverse-media screening calibration
  • Transaction-monitoring rule design and threshold tuning
  • Independent AML audits and regulator-facing remediation
  • Board and staff training tailored to your risk profile

Why CounterAct Consult

A partner your regulators, board, and customers can trust

Independent by design

We are not a software vendor and we do not sell tooling. Our recommendations are shaped by your risk profile — nothing else.

Operator-led advice

Every senior consultant has held a line role — MLRO, Head of Financial Crime, or examiner — before joining the practice.

Discreet, senior engagement

Small, senior teams engage directly with your executives. No pyramid staffing, no rotating juniors mid-project.

Why Choose CounterAct Consult

CounterAct Consult is a specialist AML/CFT advisory practice built on decades of hands-on regulatory, banking, and financial-crime investigation experience. From program design and independent audits to sanctions calibration and examination readiness, we help institutions turn compliance obligations into resilient, defensible operating capability. Our commitment is simple: precise advice, senior engagement, and unwavering discretion — because trust, once earned, is a competitive advantage.
