AFC Risk Assessments
NLC has developed an AML/CTF/Sanctions Risk Assessment tool, which can be completed by NLC or by the client themselves, to enable clients to understand and document inherent risks, control effectiveness and residual risks, in terms of products, clients, jurisdictions and delivery channels. The tool reflects the latest industry and regulatory requirements.

To support our clients with their financial crime resourcing challenges we have developed our service offering to include resource augmentation. We can do this for large or small projects and have particular expertise in complex KYC cases, requiring highly skilled resources.
