Add specialist AML capacity without losing control
APOG provides AML outsourcing and specialist project support for regulated businesses that need to deliver a defined AML workstream, resolve an operational problem or add experienced capacity. We support both time-limited projects and recurring operational activities where the scope, responsibilities, quality standards and expected outcomes can be clearly agreed.
AML outsourcing should extend the capability of the internal team, not obscure accountability. Before delivery begins, we define what APOG will perform, what remains with the client, how decisions will be escalated and how completed work will be reviewed and accepted.
When AML outsourcing makes sense
01
A backlog requires controlled remediation
KYC, KYB, EDD, transaction-monitoring alerts or customer-file reviews are accumulating and require additional capacity, consistent standards and documented quality control.
02
A defined change must be delivered
A new product, market, audit finding or regulatory requirement creates a temporary need for framework implementation, process redesign or specialist project support.
03
Independent quality support is needed
The internal AML team requires file sampling, quality assurance, second-line testing, senior review or clearer decision standards for a defined period.
Workstreams APOG can support
KYC, KYB and EDD remediation
Customer-file reviews, beneficial-ownership analysis, risk classification, Enhanced Due Diligence, document remediation and resolution of incomplete or inconsistent files.
Quality assurance and testing
Independent sampling and review of onboarding decisions, periodic reviews, alerts, investigations, escalation records and the evidence supporting AML conclusions.
Framework and operational support
Risk assessments, policies, procedures, controls, management information and specialist support for internal Compliance Officers, MLROs and project teams.
How the engagement works
01
Scope and govern
We define the workstream, deliverables, volumes, responsibilities, systems access, escalation routes, reporting and acceptance criteria.
02
Pilot and calibrate
Where appropriate, we begin with a diagnostic or pilot sample to confirm assumptions, align decision standards and determine the appropriate delivery model.
03
Deliver and report
The agreed work is completed against defined quality requirements, with management information, issue escalation, review and documented closure.
What you receive
- a clearly defined scope and division of responsibilities,
- agreed deliverables, quality standards and acceptance criteria,
- a documented working methodology and decision standards,
- completed AML work supported by appropriate evidence,
- regular management information and escalation reporting,
- quality-assurance results and corrective feedback,
- a closure, handover or transition plan where the project is time-limited.
Recurring managed support
Where the requirement is ongoing, APOG can establish recurring operational support after an initial diagnostic or pilot phase. The scope can then be reviewed against actual volumes, risk, quality results and the client’s internal capacity.
What AML workstream needs support?
Tell us what needs to be completed, the current volume or constraint and the intended deadline. We will propose the most proportionate starting point, which may be a diagnostic, pilot or defined delivery phase.
The client retains governance, statutory responsibilities, approval authorities and regulatory accountability that cannot be transferred through outsourcing. The precise allocation of activities, decision rights and escalation responsibilities is documented before delivery begins.
