Compliance

Anti-money laundering and banking law: practical compliance for obliged entities.

We assess the scope, stakes and documents of your matter before defining an engagement and its fees.

FSMA AMLCO inspections — Q4 2026

Your request is reviewed within 24 business hours.

Anticipate the rule, master the risk, turn constraint into security.

Act without delay

In this area, time often works against you. A few situations where every day counts:

  • Under NIS2, a cybersecurity incident requires notifications within 24 and then 72 hours.
  • An inspection or request from an authority (FSMA, DPA, CCB) should not be handled alone.
  • Non-compliance addressed early costs less than an inspection endured.

We respond to your request within 24 business hours. Your communications are covered by professional secrecy, and the first consultation is defined in scope and deducted if a file is opened.

01

When to seek advice

Compliance is more than having written procedures. The framework must fit your activity and be explainable to a regulator, bank or your team. We examine its design and practical application.

You are preparing for an inspection or responding to a regulator

We examine the request, sector obligations and expected information. We prioritise checks, document practices and prepare a coherent response.

Your AML/CFT framework needs to evolve

Risk assessment, client identification, due diligence and the AMLCO function: we compare procedures with actual practice and identify gaps to address.

Your banking relationship deteriorates

Account closure, a disputed transaction or banking fraud: we analyse the contract, notices and correspondence to identify possible steps with the bank, Ombudsfin or a court.

Who we advise

Insurance brokers and intermediaries · Estate agents, accountants, fintechs and payment institutions · Individuals dealing with their bank

Audit, external support, training or a banking dispute: the engagement is adapted to your activity and obligations. Training or a certificate does not replace regulatory approval or a decision by the authority.

Frequently asked questions

Who is subject to the law of 18 September 2017?

The law covers financial actors and certain non-financial professions. This depends on the activity and must be checked against the legislation and sector rules.

What is the AMLCO’s role?

The AMLCO coordinates AML/CFT prevention, procedures, monitoring and reporting duties within the applicable framework.

What sanctions can the FSMA impose?

Depending on the breach and sector, corrective measures, administrative sanctions or measures affecting authorisation may apply. Risk is assessed individually.

What does the training include?

AML/CFT obligations, the AMLCO’s role, risk assessment, KYC and procedures. A multiple-choice test and certificate complete the training; the certificate is not FSMA approval.

How long does compliance remediation take?

It depends on the existing framework and imposed deadlines. A diagnosis identifies priorities and supports a realistic timetable.
