Risk & Compliance

Countries are enacting increasingly complex anti-bribery statutes and regulations, while simultaneously enforcing these laws with greater cross-border enforcement rigor and coordination. Organisations and their outside counsel rely on us to help evaluate and enhance compliance programmes as needed, including addressing regulatory expectations around internal controls and continuous monitoring. We understand specific challenges such as internal control enhancement and the use of data analytics to enable a client to use its own data to maintain and enhance its compliance programme. We assist organisations and their outside counsel in implementing programmes and measuring a programme’s effectiveness.

Today, companies face unprecedented scrutiny and bear increasing responsibility in the global war on money laundering and terrorist financing. Regulatory scrutiny is driving change, and companies must comply with regulatory standards or face enforcement and/or costly fines. FTI Consulting is often engaged when organisations, external counsel, and regulators need deep advisory on these issues. For decades, we’ve developed a deep understanding of AML, financial fraud, sanctions and anti-corruption matters. We understand the laws and regulations and have developed effective methodologies to launch and remediate compliance and governance programmes.

Every corporation faces enterprise risks or must comply with mandated regulatory settlements that require independent monitoring. These ongoing challenges demand an operating environment that includes robust internal controls and continually upgraded compliance policies. Many global organisations rely on us for trusted, independent expert guidance. Our senior industry specialists and compliance experts are widely recognised for their approach to testing, enhancing and monitoring corporate compliance programmes. In matters involving allegations of fraud or other malfeasance where a monitor, examiner or receiver may be appointed, we help implement a plan of action and communicate with multiple constituencies.

Organisations in every geographic and industry sector face a wide variety of strategic, financial, operational, and compliance-related risks. These risks relate to internal business strategies, initiatives, processes, people, models, data and technology and external conditions such as market forces, regulation, enforcement trends and stakeholder activism. From financial performance to bribery and corruption to diversity and inclusion, such risks can adversely impact many areas within an organisation. Clients engage FTI Consulting to develop strong enterprise risk management (ERM) strategies and programmes that identify and manage these risks, evaluate risks versus rewards, and turn risks into opportunities.
