Compliance Assessments and Program Development

The primary objective of a compliance program is to prevent problems before a crisis occurs.

Working with your internal compliance and risk management team, GCI can enhance or design corporate governance, compliance, BSA/AML/OFAC Programs, and anti-corruption programs including development of a robust code of conduct and formal training programs to help ensure policies and regulatory requirements are integrated throughout your organization.

The leadership of GCI has significant experience in matters involving compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Our subject matter experts can design FCPA and anti-corruption training programs tailored to your specific business and industry.

Look Back Investigations / Backlog Investigations / OFAC investigations

GCI performs transactional look back investigations, either proactively at the direction of the institution or as a result of a regulatory enforcement action. GCI will also work with institutions in enhanced due diligence investigations and associated reporting to eliminate backlogged transaction alerts.

Compliance programs require constant monitoring and vigilance. As an independent monitor, GCI can provide organizations with ongoing independent inspections, investigations and verification services to validate the effectiveness of existing governance, ethics, compliance and anti-corruption programs. These services may include providing periodic assessments of a new or modified ethics and compliance program to determine the progress, working as an internal advisor to provide support for gathering and evaluating reports of alleged misconduct or serving as a court-appointed Independent Monitor.
