Our client was in the middle of an extensive regulatory remediation for the Central Bank of Ireland. They asked Lysis to provide a highly experienced AML SME to provide input to an Enterprise Wide Risk Assessment (EWRA) and to lead development of a new Customer Risk Rating Methodology (CRRM).
Lysis personnel mapped the firm's business model to Irish regulation to ensure that all relevant regulations were covered and then provided input to the EWRA. We also lead the development of a revised CRRM.
Although the client is based in the US, they have European subsidiaries which include the UK and therefore required Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registration. In order to obtain registration as a crypto asset firm in the U.K. they had to comply with specific FCA requirements.
A successful regulatory turnaround for a UK EMI and crypto firm, restoring FCA permissions and avoiding administration under new leadership.
Lysis reviewed the exchange’s AML/CTF framework which resulted to a successful maturity assessment review.
