Financial Crimes

Services

We bring decades of experience helping organizations fortify financial crimes compliance programs, mitigate risk and navigate complex enforcement matters across the banking and financial services sector. 

Our expertise spans the full financial crime risk lifecycle—from monitoring for potentially suspicious activity to highly complex money laundering investigations.   

Sanctions, Enhanced Due Diligence and AML Investigations

A strong financial crimes compliance program is critical in detecting, reporting and preventing illicit activity. We design and implement transaction monitoring systems, investigations, sanction programs and enhanced due diligence processes. Our experts strengthen risk-based AML frameworks, ensuring compliance with the latest regulatory requirements by utilizing industry best practices and regulatory expectations.

High-Risk Customer Management

Managing high-risk customers requires a tailored, preventive approach. We help institutions identify, monitor and mitigate risks associated with customers who have a higher potential for engaging in illegal activities such as money laundering, fraud or other financial crimes.

Program Evaluation and M&A Assessment

Mergers and acquisitions come with regulatory complexities. We assess and integrate AML frameworks to facilitate smooth regulatory approvals and ensure compliance across acquired entities. Our approach builds sustainable, scalable compliance programs designed for long-term success.

Fraud Investigations

Preventing financial loss requires a deep understanding of fraud patterns and vulnerabilities. We help organizations enhance their fraud prevention systems, strengthen fraud detection frameworks and investigate complex fraud cases. Using root cause analysis, we uncover control weaknesses and pinpoint gaps in fraud prevention strategies—enabling institutions to proactively mitigate risk and respond effectively.

Regulatory Response and Remediation

We help financial organizations swiftly respond to audits and manage enforcement actions to meet regulatory expectations while minimizing penalties and reputational damage.

High-Profile and Complex Investigations

Our team has extensive experience conducting sensitive, high-stakes investigations involving money laundering, corruption and sanctions violations. We help institutions navigate regulatory scrutiny, congressional and media exposure, and legal complexities to protect their operations and reputation.

Proactive Compliance

A Smarter Investment

Regulatory scrutiny of financial crimes compliance isn’t slowing down. Enforcement actions for Bank Secrecy Act and sanctions violations can result in crippling fines, operational disruptions and lasting reputational harm.

Since 2005, our Financial Crimes practice—formerly The Dominion Advisory Group—has helped financial institutions navigate hundreds of high-stakes compliance matters, including:

Enforcement

Formal and informal enforcement actions​

Investigations

Complex money laundering and corruption investigations

Compliance

Sanctions compliance

Monitoring

The identification and monitoring of clients who pose a higher-than-normal risk for compliance with the BSA.

Risk

BSA/AML risk assessments

Monitoring

Implementation, tuning and/or model validation of transaction monitoring systems
