When a Big Four firm needed to staff a financial crime remediation programme for a major Australian bank, it needed experienced AML analysts quickly. We mobilised 22 in three weeks, and the programme finished early.
Impact highlights
- 22 AML analysts mobilised within three weeks of the brief.
- Three workstreams as the programme grew, adding data analysts, business analysts and case reviewers.
- Finished three weeks ahead of schedule.
- Extended three times by the client.
- Employee of the month: one of our analysts won the client’s award.
The situation
Remediation programmes live or die on capacity. The regulator sets the timetable, the backlog is fixed, and every week without the right people adds cost and risk.
Our client, a Big Four firm, had won a financial crime remediation programme for a major Australian bank. It needed a team of experienced AML analysts in place quickly, at a quality the bank and its regulator would accept.
What we did
We mobilised 22 AML analysts within three weeks. Every candidate was interviewed by our team and reviewed by a director before the client saw them.
As the programme grew into three workstreams, we added financial crime data analysts, business analysts and case reviewers, so the client could scale without starting a new search each time.
The impact
Delivered ahead of schedule
The programme finished three weeks early, and the client extended it three times.
A team worth keeping
The client kept our team together through each extension, with 14 people on site, and one of our analysts won the client’s employee of the month award.s and practical guidance on strengthening anti-corruption frameworks, adapted to volatile wartime conditions.
