Risk & Compliance


ARQ has a highly specialised risk and compliance practice focused on providing advisory services in AML/CFT, financial crime, GDPR and regulatory compliance. We provide a broad range of support services to industry clients in the financial services and gaming sectors, professional firms and regulators.

Compliance has become a stand-alone practice area requiring specialised knowledge, training and skills. In the context of today’s growing challenges, ARQ’s experienced professionals work with clients to assist them in meeting their regulatory requirements by offering specialist advice, operational support and expert solutions to achieve on-going compliance.

ARQ has positioned itself as the leading advisory service provider in this area, relying on a team of top professionals with many years of advisory and regulatory experience. The team assists clients with the following services:

  • Drawing up of policies, procedures and staff manuals,
  • Business risk assessments,
  • Gap analyses and compliance health checks,
  • Training and support

ARQ provides valuable assistance to boards of directors, staff, MLROs, DPOs and Compliance Officers.

How we do it


ARQ has perfected the art of complementing and supporting an organisation’s internal resources. From the initial push for a department to get on its feet to the upgrading of processes and staff training, we can move with ease from ‘hand-holding’ to contributing to one-off projects. With more mature set-ups, we assume a nuanced role as the sounding board for senior management, testing systems and processes from time to time.
