Independent Reviews

A7 Advisors establishes a strong relationship with its clients so that we can support their business objectives well into the future

Banks and nonbank financial institutions are required to undergo an independent review of their AML compliance program, commonly referred to as the “4th Pillar.”

Small-to-medium-sized companies often do not have the dedicated personnel to focus solely on performing annual AML/sanctions reviews. Alternatively, compliance officers in larger organizations are often overwhelmed trying to keep up with the latest industry best practices and compliance requirements.

In addition to this, the relationship between the board room and the compliance department has changed dramatically over the last several years. Regulators and the DOJ continue to expect board members to understand a broader swath of details regarding the organizational compliance landscape.

A7 collaborates with the client to support the goal of compliance as a competitive advantage by planning for long-term alignment that enhances your culture of compliance across the business.
