Compliance Outsourcing & Risk Management

Having in place a compliant organization on combating money laundering and terrorist financing is a compulsory obligation for all Swiss financial intermediaries subject to the Federal Act on Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (AMLA). With the forthcoming entry into force of laws on financial institutions (FinIA) and financial services (FinSA), compliance obligations will be strengthened and asset managers and trustees will have to integrate a compliance function separate from the functions of managers / relationship managers.


In addition, asset managers and trustees must have adequately designed risk management and effective internal controls. These obligations require the identification, assessment, mitigation and monitoring of risks, as well as the structuring of the control process.
