AML Compliance Informed by Regulatory Experience

ARC Advisory Group helps Canadian reporting entities assess, strengthen, and demonstrate the effectiveness of their AML compliance programs.

“Practical AML guidance from two former FINTRAC officers who understand compliance from the regulator's side of the table.”

What Effective Compliance Looks Like

AML compliance requires more than documents on a shelf. Organizations must demonstrate that their policies, risk assessments, training, reporting processes, records, and controls work in practice.

As former FINTRAC compliance officers, Ronald McKave and Cinnamon Bhayani understand how compliance programs are examined, how deficiencies arise, and what evidence matters.
