Our Story


Services
Monere Global specialises in delivering tailored solutions for AML/CFT regimes to governments and institutions around the world.
Risk assessments & strategy development
Understanding risk is a fundamental building block of the risk-based approach. Monere Global guides clients in identifying, understanding, and mitigating risks across the full range of risk assessment topics. This is complemented by strategy development and assistance with national co-ordination mechanisms.
Mutual evaluation preparation, follow-up support & action plans
Jurisdictions must demonstrate that their AML/CFT frameworks are effective in practice. Monere Global helps clients plan for mutual evaluations, improve effectiveness, and more clearly demonstrate the robustness of their AML/CFT regimes.
Technical compliance
Legal and institutional frameworks that align with the FATF Standards form the basis of an effective AML/CFT system. Monere Global helps clients identify and resolve shortcomings in legal, regulatory, and operational frameworks.
ICRG & compliance enhancing measures
Public identification by the FATF’s International Co-operation Review Group (ICRG) poses significant reputational and economic pressure for listed jurisdictions. Monere Global works with clients to navigate the complexities of the ICRG process, as well as other compliance enhancing measures.
Specialised technical assistance
Monere Global assists our clients in developing effective, sustainable solutions across key AML/CFT areas, including beneficial ownership transparency, supervisory frameworks, VASP regimes, FIU structures and capabilities, targeted financial sanctions implementation, and NPO oversight and monitoring frameworks.
Private sector risk and compliance advice
Private sector institutions, from banks and casinos to fintech and professional firms, are increasingly impacted by the evolving FATF Standards and national AML/CFT regulations. Monere Global can help private sector clients map out compliance strategies, develop tailored risk assessments, limit corporate liability, and design compliance and remediation programmes – ensuring a holistic, workable approach to compliance and risk management.
Technical compliance
It is important that legal and institutional frameworks align with FATF and other relevant standards. This way, competent authorities will have all necessary powers and private sector covered by risk-based preventive measures. Monere helps clients identify and resolve shortcomings in such frameworks.

Developing strategic action plans for ICRG-listed jurisdictions, engaging with domestic agencies and political leadership to navigate FATF Joint Groups allows for a better prospect of navigating a faster delisting.
