About the Financial Crime Team  
 
It is an extremely interesting time in the market, with many organisations navigating how to best growth their businesses and manage costs, while also ensuring increased oversight of key Compliance and Risk operations. Additionally, there is increased regulatory scrutiny on key risk areas such as AML and Fraud. Financial Crime and Third-Party Risk Management are at the center of this, uniquely positioned to not only help organisations manage key risks, but also provide increased value through informed business decision making.  

Our Financial Crime team is regional in nature, operating across six territories in Southeast Asia, partnering with clients to complete a range of work to meet their existing and evolving business needs and objectives. We provide services across three key areas: Advisory, Transformation, and Managed Services. Across each we bring a depth of knowledge and experience that is unprecedented in the market and allows us to support our clients from strategy through execution on areas of compliance, risk management, operational efficiency, and client experience. In this, we bring with us our knowledge of AI and other emerging technologies, deep alliance relationships, and global network of subject matter experts
