Although the ultimate responsibility for compliance with AML obligations remains with the financial intermediary and its board, the key distinction lies in the role of the AML expert. In an outsourcing relationship, the AML expert serves as the key point of contact for the regulator and auditor, directly managing compliance processes on the client’s behalf. Consulting, on the other hand, provides tailored advice on specific AML topics without taking on this external representative role.
