Katalysys US published its Executive Briefing series, featuring Scott Arden analyzing the future of AML and financial crime risk management.

We’re on a mission to improve the long-term sustainability of our clients by using intelligence, insight, and expertise to empower them to meet prudential regulations and make smarter risk management decisions. Having a 30% share of our target market of small and medium-sized banks gives us a significant advantage, and a unique view of market best practices. We don’t just have deep knowledge of prudential regulations; we know how small and medium-sized banks can meet them in a considered and proportionate way to efficiently utilise capital and liquidity resources. With a diverse team of banking, prudential regulation, finance and software professionals, we can offer the services you’d expect from a leading prudential regulation and risk management consultancy, for example assisting clients in conducting Internal Capital/Liquidity Adequacy Assessments (ICAAP/ ILAAP); preparing recovery plans; reviewing regulatory returns; preparing regulatory reporting guidance notes; building stress test models; and helping clients understand and manage the impacts of regulatory changes like Basel 3.1 and Solvent Exit Analysis. Plus, we go further with k-ALM® - our proprietary system developed specifically to help small and medium-sized banks to conduct stress tests, evaluate funds transfer pricing, and manage liquidity and interest rate risks. But what really defines our success is the strong, strategic partnerships we form with our clients. We listen carefully to their requirements and behave like an internal team, enhancing their skills and resources to achieve positive results and make a lasting impact. And it’s all underpinned by a highly effective and proven service model which provides an efficient and high-quality engagement. Time and again clients comment on our responsiveness and the accessibility of our senior team. Because of this, they trust us and know they can depend on us. We’re on a bold mission but we’re driven to deliver on it every single day.
