Practices

Two disciplines that belong together.

Illicit finance is a security problem, and security threats leave financial trails. We combine compliance expertise with the analytic rigour of an intelligence assessment team.

01

Financial integrity

AML/CFT advisory for authorities and reporting institutions.

  • FATF mutual-evaluation and action-plan readiness
  • National and sectoral risk assessments
  • Suspicious-transaction report quality reviews
  • Beneficial-ownership and typology studies
  • Mobile-money, SACCO and DNFBP risk programmes
02

Risk & threat intelligence

Strategic assessments built to the standards of a national analytic cell.

  • Threat-finance and network mapping
  • Strategic and regional risk assessments
  • Indicators and early-warning frameworks
  • Election-period and stability risk analysis
  • Open-source intelligence collection
03

Analytic capability

We build the skills in-house teams need to do this themselves.

  • Structured analytic techniques training
  • Analytic standards and product templates
  • Tradecraft reviews of existing products
  • Red-team and alternative-analysis exercises
  • Mentoring for analysts and supervisors

Method

Every product follows the same discipline.

  1. Step 1

    Frame the question

    Agree the decision the client faces and the question that serves it — before any collection starts.

  2. Step 2

    Collect and grade

    Every source is rated for reliability and every item for credibility, so the evidence base is visible.

  3. Step 3

    Challenge the view

    Competing hypotheses, a key-assumptions check and an independent reviewer test every judgement.

  4. Step 4

    Say it plainly

    Bottom line first, calibrated likelihood, stated confidence, and the actions that follow.

We say how likely — in words that mean the same thing every time.

Our estimative scale. Confidence in the evidence is stated separately as low, moderate or high.
