We offer a different perspective

ASG were quick to assess our current processes, identifying improvements that ensured compliance and also streamlined our operations. This proactive stance has resulted in practical efficiencies and reduced risk exposure. As part of our engagement with ASG, they supported us in implementing planned system developments, working with us to shortlist and select preferred systems providers in the field of compliance and monitoring. During the process, ASG identified and helped to mitigate costs and key service issues which has proven to be very beneficial for us.

The Board of Directors found it refreshing to receive training from someone with such relevant and recent experience in industry and who understood the commerciality of our business. The AML/CFT training was pitched at exactly the right level for the Board, was interactive and kept the interest of all attendees throughout the session.

I am delighted to share my positive experience with Advisory Services, an exceptional partner in ensuring regulatory compliance for our organisation. Their unwavering commitment to excellence and efficiency has exceeded our expectations delivering numerous tangible benefits including being instrumental in helping us to obtain our Fiduciary license from the GFSC within 4 weeks, a quicker than usual timeline. From the outset, they demonstrated broad and deep understanding of our industry’s complex regulatory landscape. Their team possesses a rare combination of in-depth knowledge of Guernsey and UK regulatory requirements and practical application, providing tailored solutions to address our specific compliance challenges.

We have thoroughly enjoyed the time Jane has spent with us. She brings a pragmatic, proactive approach to her work, which draws on her extensive knowledge and experience as a regulator. She is able to flip this knowledge round to apply it from the licensee’s perspective, which we have found incredibly useful. Jane has also been proactive in identifying areas she can add value to, as the workload has naturally progressed to the permanent employee she was brought in to cover the transition to. Above all, Jane has integrated into our team with ease due to her warm and open personality.

I approached Advisory Services at short notice to undertake an AML/KYC gap analysis. The resulting report was extremely detailed, whilst being in a format that presented the information on a case-by-case basis, providing details of the documents reviewed, the assessment, key findings and an overall conclusion. I would have no hesitation in using Advisory Services again.

During her time with us, Emily has proven to be a delightful asset to the Corporate Secretarial team. She fitted in so well with everyone and was keen to assist wherever she could. Emily played an integral part in ensuring that the Client Investment Licensee Business Risk Assessments and Cyber Security Policy Statements were completed ahead of deadlines. She has also participated in board meetings and prepared minutes to a high standard and within required timelines. Thank you, Emily, for the invaluable assistance you provided us over the last few months. You have been an absolute pleasure to work with and we wish you well for your future.

We engaged Advisory Services to perform a bespoke piece of work on behalf of the Board. They diligently identified areas of focus for the Board to consider further and his report was clear, concise and delivered within very short timescales.
