Advisory

December 14, 2022 Off By m4rciobuarque

The day-to-day in an organization can bring a series of limitations and restrictions for the optimized execution of projects and specific activities, inside and outside the usual routine of managers and directors.

Conducting projects on several fronts requires teamwork and the choice of specialists who add value to achieve objectives, exceeding the expectations of all the players involved.

As an independent advisor with over 27 years of experience in auditing and consulting in the financial advisory industry, I can provide consulting and advisory-tailored solutions as follows:

Investigations

I can assist with projects related to general fraud, misconduct, financial reporting, and securities investigation services to various public and private organizations.

Various approaches can be taken, from a full investigation to assisting with projects involving multiple consultants and external experts.

Planning, control, discussions, and reports can be delegated to my responsibility, providing an environment of greater confidentiality and top management focus on critical issues for the organization.

Time is money.

My experience in investigative and financial issues enables me to separate deceptions from facts to assist clients in understanding some of the most complex fraud schemes. Decades of experience in reporting and discussing findings with the C-Level of several companies can help achieve each project’s objectives in the best possible way.

Regulatory Compliance (including AML/CFT and ABC)

Driven by a growing political determination to strike against organized crime, governments, law enforcement, and regulators worldwide have increased their scrutiny of anti-money laundering (AML) activity, taking direct action – involving fines or even imprisonment – against individuals and firms who fail to comply.

I can help clients deal with national and international AML risk management at both a strategic and operational level.
