Fraud & Financial Crime Technology

Assurance over the systems that catch fraud, laundering and payment abuse.

The situation

Fraud and AML systems are among the highest-consequence and least-audited technology in a financial institution: they are tuned by vendors, trusted implicitly, and rarely tested against the adversary they are meant to stop.

We assess the control environment end to end — detection logic and rule coverage, model governance for AI-driven scoring, alert quality and analyst workflow, data lineage, and the authentication controls that determine whether a fraudulent instruction ever reaches the system at all.
