Africa Advisory

AML/CFT framework design, FATF compliance, correspondent banking readiness, and FCPA/anti-corruption advisory for organizations operating in and across African markets.

Capital Flows Where Trust Infrastructure Exists

African financial markets represent one of the world’s fastest-growing compliance frontiers. Central banks, fintechs, VASPs, remittance operators, and growth-stage enterprises across East and West Africa face increasing pressure from FATF mutual evaluations, correspondent banking withdrawal risks, and cross-border regulatory complexity. We help build the governance architecture that unlocks capital, enables partnerships, and earns regulatory confidence.

What We Do in African Markets

AML/CFT Framework Design

End-to-end AML and counter-financing of terrorism program development aligned to FATF 40 Recommendations and ESAAMLG/GIABA regional standards.

Correspondent Banking Readiness

De-risking is one of the most critical threats to African financial connectivity. We help institutions build controls that maintain and restore correspondent relationships.

Cross-Border Architecture

Regulatory mapping, payment corridor compliance, multi-jurisdiction risk assessments, and cross-border transaction monitoring frameworks.

FCPA / Anti-Corruption

U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act compliance, anti-bribery program design, third-party due diligence, and government interaction protocols.

Governance Capacity Building

Board training, compliance function design, and risk governance frameworks — building institutional capacity that sustains after the engagement ends.

FATF Mutual Evaluation Readiness

Pre-evaluation gap assessments, technical compliance reviews, and effectiveness remediation for jurisdictions preparing for FATF evaluation.
