AML/CFT, KYC, Sanctions & Financial Crime Compliance Advisory
At ABM Global Compliance, we help capital markets businesses examine and reinforce their financial crime compliance structures, policies, governance and controls in line with applicable Italian and European requirements. ABM helps capital markets businesses in Italy reinforce their financial crime compliance structures and establish a more resilient approach to AML/CFT, sanctions, market integrity and anti-bribery risk.
Reinforcing Financial Crime Controls, Market Integrity & Regulatory Compliance.
Capital markets businesses active in Italy can face financial crime risks arising from customers, counterparties, transactions, financial instruments and cross-border activities. Sound compliance therefore requires a risk-proportionate structure that reflects both the firm’s business model and the regulatory expectations applicable to its activities. ABM provides compliance advisory and assessment support that helps clients strengthen their onboarding, screening and monitoring arrangements.
Italy’s Money Laundering Act (Legislative Decree 231/2007) provides a central part of the national AML/CFT structure, while relevant firms must also consider applicable Italian and EU sanctions, market conduct and financial crime requirements. CONSOB has important supervisory responsibilities for financial institutions within its remit. Financial crime compliance in capital markets requires more than individual controls.

Your Questions Answered
What does Legislative Decree 231/2007 require?
Risk-based AML/CFT arrangements: a business-wide risk assessment, customer due diligence scaled to risk, ongoing monitoring, suspicious activity reporting, sanctions screening, training, and governance ownership.
How should customer due diligence work?
Risk-based from the start: verify identity, understand ownership and purpose, apply enhanced measures where risk is higher, and keep information current through ongoing monitoring.
What about sanctions compliance?
EU sanctions apply directly and carry strict liability in practice. Firms need effective screening, clear escalation procedures, and awareness that exposure hides in ownership structures.
How is transaction monitoring supervised?
Supervisors test calibration and outcomes: whether scenarios reflect your actual risks, whether alerts are investigated on time, and whether the system evolves with the business.
Can you review our financial crime framework?
Yes. We conduct independent AML/CFT reviews covering governance, risk assessment, due diligence, monitoring, and reporting, with practical findings your team can implement.
