Regulatory & Compliance Risk
Targeted Reviews That Support AML, KYC, FCPA, Sanctions, ESG, and Workplace Compliance
Obligations with Auditable, Decision-Ready Findings
Clarity in a Complex World
Compliance isn’t just a box to check—it’s a moving target. Global regulations around AML, KYC, FCPA, sanctions, ESG, and workplace standards evolve constantly, and failure to meet them can result in severe penalties and reputational harm. Internal teams need investigative rigor and auditable processes to satisfy regulators and protect stakeholders.
Mintz Group delivers targeted reviews and program assessments that clarify fact patterns, triage risk, and strengthen governance frameworks. Our work combines trusted global data sources, advanced analytics, and on-the-ground insight to produce findings that withstand regulatory scrutiny and board-level review.
"Mintz integrated seamlessly with our third-party compliance program—conducting broad red-flag sweeps and deep-dive diligence on select counterparties. They helped us keep compliant with KYC requirements."
