Financial Crime Challenges for Mid-Sized Companies in the UK

Mid-sized companies in the UK face distinct challenges when it comes to financial crime. At Valenta, we specialize in Financial Crime Consultation and provide expert advice tailored to the UK context. Our comprehensive range of services includes risk assessment, regulatory compliance, policy development, training, and awareness programs to effectively combat financial crime.

Here are the key challenges that our clients in the UK commonly encounter :

  • Resource Constraints: Mid-sized companies often grapple with limited staff and resources dedicated to financial crime prevention. While larger corporations can afford specialized departments, mid-sized companies may face budgetary constraints or difficulties in finding individuals with the requisite skills.
  • Technology Infrastructure: Access to advanced technology infrastructure, including anti-fraud software, data analytics tools, and automated monitoring systems, can be limited for mid-sized companies in the UK. Identifying trusted providers of these crucial tools may pose an additional challenge.
  • Evolving Regulatory Landscape: Financial crime regulations and compliance requirements in the UK are subject to continuous change. Mid-sized companies can find it challenging to stay abreast of these evolving regulations and ensure ongoing compliance. Non-compliance can lead to financial penalties and legal repercussions.
  • Lack of Experience: Many UK companies, particularly mid-sized ones, may have limited experience and understanding of various types of financial crime, such as money laundering, fraud, bribery, and corruption. This lack of awareness can render them more vulnerable to such activities.
