      Client experiences

      Our team has experience helping organizations across Canada and globally. Here are some examples of how we've helped our clients manage risk.

      Case study: Demarketing high risk clients

      KPMG helped an organization demarket its high-risk clients by writing detailed reports based on the organization’s risk-based approach and overseeing their backlog.

      Our team’s experience and leadership allowed for in-depth discussions and analysis, and constant and comprehensive guidance, so the organization could be consistently compliant with industry best practices and the regulator’s expectations. Our team was able to reduce their backlog, while their teams could focus on their “day-to-day” operations.

      Case study: Backlog remediation

      A major financial institution faced a backlog of 1000+ high-risk client filings and sought to resolve it without disrupting its teams’ daily business activities.

      We got to know the organization’s internal tools, helped alleviate the backlog by analyzing each case in-depth including conducting quality assurance tests to substantiate the quality, and prepared the documentation for filing Suspicious Transaction Reports.
