Regulatory expectations continue to evolve. Oversight intensifies. Decisions made across compliance, operations, and leadership are often assessed later by examiners, legal advisors, or boards, frequently with more context than was available at the time.

Common needs:

  • Understanding exposure across AML/CFT, sanctions, FATCA/CRS, and related requirements
  • Interpreting regulatory expectations in institution-specific contexts
  • Addressing gaps identified through independent review and remediation
  • Preparing for regulatory examinations and ongoing oversight
  • Ensuring consistency in how regulatory requirements are applied across teams
  • Building internal competence through targeted, role-specific training

"Our bank's AML Compliance Program is now up to date. We are prepared to make internal changes when the rules change. We feel empowered and self-sufficient."

- Chief Compliance Officer, Central America Financial Institution.

How the work applies

In practice

Each engagement is shaped by institutional complexity, operational realities, and regulatory expectations.

A Financial Institution in Bolivia

The IRS requested corrections to previously submitted FATCA reports, validation of account holder TINs, copies of withholding certificates, and confirmation of FATCA policies and procedures.

Foodman CPAs & Advisors worked with the institution to address each requirement, correcting FATCA reports, updating compliance documentation, and refocusing the institution's FATCA Procedures Manual to reflect current requirements.
