Why Choose Us?

As the Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Regulatory landscape continues to become more stringent, it is vital to appoint service providers with a competent, experienced, and diligent team committed to ensuring that clients meet their AML and regulatory obligations.

Based in the Cayman Islands, Canopy Consulting is a specialist AML and Regulatory Advisory and Consulting firm with a core focus on clients in the financial services industry. The Firm is independent of any other service provider and therefore serves to reduce any associated risks of actual or perceived conflicts of interest.

Our Services

Outsourced AML Officers

Canopy’s AML team are all senior management level professionals with at least 15 years of experience in investment funds, capital markets, and banking sectors and bring a wealth of private industry and regulatory experience to clients.

AML Audit / Preparation and Remediation for Regulatory Inspections

Canopy Consulting can perform the required audits and review the overall AML programme subject to the AML requirements. The requisite audits will assess the effectiveness of the comprehensive AML/CFT programme and related controls, identify gaps, and escalate to senior management as required.  

AML and CTF Training

In compliance with the Cayman Islands AML Regime’s training requirements, Canopy Consulting offers a tailored and verifiable solution. This training can be provided to appropriate staff and senior management that are required to have AML training on an annual basis.

Review / Preparation of AML Policies and Procedures

As regulatory demands increase, in addition to implementing adequate AML policies and procedures that meet the AML requirements, adequate CTF/PF and sanction criteria must also be implemented into the AML programme, as these areas have become a significant risk factor for clients to consider.

Compliance, Regulatory and Corporate Governance

We provide expert advice and consulting services to ensure compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements, including implementing an excellent corporate governance framework that complies with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority’s Statement of Guidance on Corporate Governance. 

Banking Regulatory And Advisory

Canopy’s team have extensive regulatory experience in the banking sector, particularly as it relates to Basel II’s Pillar 2 and Pillar 3; ICAAP and Disclosure Reports. Canopy offers advisory services in regulatory reporting, prudential and risk manuals in relation to capital planning, credit, market, operational and liquidity risks.
