The financial services team at Kaufman Rossin comprises over 40 professionals specializing in risk advisory, accounting, and other trained professionals to assist national and international financial institutions in identifying, developing, and implementing solutions to address operational and regulatory compliance risks.
We are familiar with the financial services industry.
We understand the pressures associated with regulatory compliance, new disclosure requirements, and stricter accounting standards. Our team has extensive experience assisting financial institutions in complying with the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
Our team can help you plan, prepare, and face the challenge with sanctions compliance and AML/CFT (Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism) programs.
We understand the risks associated with regulatory and reputational concerns. We assist financial institutions in assessing their Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance programs and provide comprehensive, practical solutions. Our team has experience in investigating complex money laundering cases and fraud scams in North America, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Our banking team also has extensive experience in helping financial institutions mitigate the risk of cybersecurity.
Lastly, we understand the need to focus on net profits. We can help financial institutions identify opportunities to streamline processes, maximize the performance of IT investments, and leverage innovative solutions such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA).
Where’s the real action in banking innovation?
Financial institutions are implementing robotic process automation (RPA) solutions to improve the customer experience and speed up manual processes. Take a good look at your organization and business objectives to determine where improvements could be made with the help of new technologies.
