AML & fraud risk assessment

AML and fraud risk assessment

Understand where your organisation is exposed to money laundering and fraud, and whether its controls address those risks. MK Global Advisory & Investigations provides independent AML and fraud risk assessment advice from London for UK and international organisations. The work is tailored to your activities, customers, counterparties and operating environment.

Why work with us

Melpomeni Kalliri holds a Master of Forensic Accounting from the University of Toronto and has professional experience in North American banking and European institutions. Her approach combines financial analysis with an understanding of organisational controls. Findings focus on the evidence available, the limits of the review and practical actions management can consider.

AML risk assessment

Assess exposure across customers, products, delivery channels and geographies, with a documented explanation of the factors considered.
Review how risks are identified, rated and updated when the business enters new markets or changes its activities.

Fraud risk assessment

A fraud risk assessment in the UK or internationally can examine employee, management, payment, supplier and procurement-related risks.
Consider where opportunities for misappropriation, misleading records or conflicts arise, and how prevention and escalation controls respond.

Control review

Review selected policies, customer due diligence procedures, transaction oversight and reporting arrangements within the scope agreed.
Compare stated procedures with available evidence of their use, distinguishing design weaknesses from gaps in implementation.

Action plans & training

Set out prioritised recommendations, supporting observations and areas requiring further specialist input or management decisions.
Integrate staff awareness sessions or leadership briefings on red flags, fraud prevention and the control weaknesses relevant to your organisation.

Who we work with

Common questions

How is the review scoped?: We first discuss your sector, jurisdictions and specific concerns. The agreed scope identifies the records required, controls to review, deliverables and timing.
Does this replace the compliance function?: The engagement provides independent assessment and recommendations. Day-to-day compliance responsibilities and decisions remain with the organisation and its appointed officers.
