Service · AML/CFT/CPF compliance
Anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing compliance
We design and run AML/CFT/CPF programs tailored to entities regulated by Nicaragua’s Financial Analysis Unit (UAF) and to nonprofits, protecting operational continuity, avoiding sanctions and safeguarding the flow of funds with banks, donors and partners.
What we solve
Compliance that doesn’t stop operations.
A weak prevention program exposes an organization to sanctions, supervisory findings and the distrust of banks and donors. A poorly designed one slows down day-to-day work.
We tailor each program to the regulations, operations and real risks of the entity, whether it is supervised by the UAF or is a nonprofit. The scope is built to fit: from an ongoing compliance function to specific engagements.
What’s included
A complete prevention program, tailored to you.
Designated Compliance Officer
We formally take on the role in line with applicable requirements, coordinate the implementation of controls and report corrective measures to leadership.
Day-to-day support
Ongoing advice on complex alerts, beneficial owners and unusual transactions, without stopping operations.
Prevention manuals
Policies and procedures fitted to how the organization works: due diligence, red flags, reporting and record keeping. For nonprofits, specific controls over donors, partners and use of funds.
Risk matrices
We identify and assess money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing exposures, and set proportionate measures where they matter most.
Compliance audits
An independent review of the program’s design and effectiveness: files, controls, reports and evidence, with a findings report and an action plan.
Training and supervisions
Training for leadership and staff using examples from their own work, and support during supervisions: documents, requests, responses and corrective plans.
How we work
A program that fits the organization.
Step 1
Risk assessment
We learn the operations, the applicable rules and the AML/CFT/CPF exposures.
Step 2
Tailored design
We build or update the risk matrix, manuals and controls.
Step 3
Implementation and culture
We train the team and support the rollout of controls.
Step 4
Monitoring and audit
We track regulatory changes, handle supervisions and test the program’s effectiveness.
The goal goes beyond ticking a box: building a compliance culture that reduces friction between operations and control functions.
