Experience That Makes a Difference

We work with our clients to help plan, organize, design, and develop infrastructures to support governance, risk, and compliance structures. This includes reporting templates, control frameworks, responding to situations of noncompliance, and improvement of the processes regarding operational effectiveness and information systems.

Our team is comprised of former regulator(s) and industry specialists with expertise in risk management areas such as compliance, fraud, audit and internal controls, technology, process improvement and model review and validation.

Process-Driven Technology

Our goal is to ensure compliance while eliminating waste—wasted time, wasted resources, wasted money. While every institution has unique processes, we pride ourselves on customizing our process to your needs. Our Lean Kaizen approach and Six Sigma expertise enables streamlined procedures and added efficiency for bottom-line results.

Efficient systems rely on process-driven technology. Our custom system solutions mirror AML processes, focusing the power of big data technologies and advanced analytics to identify, investigate, and combat money laundering and fraud with integrated solutions. Whether it’s assessing and revamping internal Know Your Customer procedures or using big data to help financial institutions transform their AML operations, the Alacer team has the tools and knowledge to successfully complete projects, on time and on budget.
