AML COMPLiance solution

Challenge

Money laundering is a growing worldwide problem. Financial institutions and listed businesses are challenged by a wide range of reputational, legal, business, and financial risks over the possibility of being used by money launders and terrorists to conceal the source of illicit proceeds. Don’t gamble with your compliance! As a senior manager, business owner, or director, you are ultimately responsible for the AML/CFT efforts of your business. Failure to ensure that your business complies with the local AML/CFT legal framework can lead to harsh penalties and fines.

What's the Solution?

We help financial institutions and supervised entities regulated by Financial Intelligence Unit, Central Bank, and Security Exchange Commission to understand and manage their AML/CFT risks, develop comprehensive compliance programmes in accordance with their risk appetite and better detect and report instances of money laundering and terrorist financing. Our AML compliance solution includes:

Client Testimonials

Atlantic Tours and Travel Limited

The team at FirstLink has always supported us from inception with our initial company registration providing practical and knowledgeable advice to guide us during the startup process. Fast forward to present – They provide us with both accounting and business advisory services. We feel comfortable and at peace knowing that we can call on Richard and his team at any time day or night to deal with any complex accounting, legal, human resource or business challenge that we’re going through.”

MARIA SEEGOBIN
DIRECTOR, COMMERCIAL - ATLANTIC TOURS & TRAVEL LIMITED

For us, what distinguishes FirstLink from the many accountants we’ve dealt with in the past is their adoption of modern technology to reduce the tedious and administrative processes and their focus on providing clients with not only accounting services but value added advisory and consulting services. As business owners, we’re not necessarily savvy in finance or legal, however, we can always depend on FirstLink for any issue we are facing. We feel like the relationship with FirstLink is more partners for life as oppose to just a client – accountant relationship.

HERO TRINIDAD

The team at FirstLink introduced our business to Xero accounting. It has given us a lot more control over our financial information and for non-accountants; it is extremely easy to use. The Xero Mobile App easily allows us to send invoices to our customers on the go and tracks when the invoices have been viewed by them. I would definitely recommend Xero and FirstLink to anyone looking to implement cloud software to gain real time financial information to improve their business.
