Our client base is diverse and includes Banks, Financial firms, Trust administrators, Lawyers, Accountants and Real Estate Agents. We have also completed engagements in other jurisdictions, including Dubai, where we were engaged by an investment bank to review their compliance, meet with regulators, and chart a way forward to meeting the high standard they required. Other jurisdictions we have undertaken engagements in, include Australia and the Pacific Islands.
We work with a similar firm to ours in Australia, so we can offer our clients advice on both sides of the Tasman.
