Our client received material audit findings which identified several deficiencies. DCM were engaged to conduct their BWRA, design and implement the CRA, build the Compliance Monitoring Plan, and undertake targeted remediation on a back-book of ultra high-risk files. In addition, we supported our client by providing direct liaison with the FCA to demonstrate a credible, logical, structured and resourced plan to address all the audit findings.
Foreign UK Bank
Our Banking client was under a VREQ, the conditions of which required forensic review of all new business clients. DCM were engaged to provide a high threshold of Assurance on all new business (mainly Very High and High-Risk cases) to ensure effective risk management and clear alignment to regulatory standards whilst the VREQ was in place.
UK Bank
DCM was mandated to deliver an advisory package of work covering 1- FCA Application assistance which focused on; GAP analysis, reporting on development areas, and enhancing control infrastructure. And 2, deliver the annual Safeguarding and AML Audit. Multi-programmes were delivered ahead of time and to budget. DCM has been retained as chosen partner to provide direct support across the Anti-FinCrime and Legal and Regulatory Compliance space.
E-Money Institution
Our client was concerned about the strength and effectiveness of its financial crime framework following interaction with the FCA. DCM conducted a Financial Crime Health Check with comprising document review, interviews, process walkthroughs and file testing. We identified shortcomings and provided recommendations for improvement and enhancement to their BWRA, CRA, and TM Standards. Our report included practical and proportionate improvements for remedial action, and we got stuck in to deliver quick wins along way.

Our ongoing advisory model ensures practical, embedded guidance that strengthens governance, controls, and regulatory reporting, and helps our clients in real time rather than relying on periodic, reactive reviews that can leave gaps between regulatory changes and internal implementation.
