We support compliance officers, risk professionals and internal stakeholders who uncover potential violations of the BSA or AMLA-whistleblower provisions. Drawing on deep experience in financial-crime, regulatory enforcement, and whistleblower-claim strategy, we provide discreet, specialist advisory to evaluate claims, protect rights, and navigate the complex legal, regulatory and data-analytic pathways that accompany AMLA-enabled whistleblower actions. With the enhanced incentives and protections introduced by the AMLA (including anti-retaliation rights and potential reward of up to 30% of recoveries) our team is uniquely placed to help you move from concern to strategy with confidence.
Key Outcomes
Claim clarity & eligibility assessment: We analyze your information to determine whether you meet the criteria of a “whistleblower” under the AMLA (including original information, link to enforcement recovery, protected activity) and advise on timing, internal-reporting vs external disclosure.
Protection & mitigation of retaliation risk: We help you document, manage and escalate internal disclosures, protect against employer retaliation (which the AMLA prohibits: e.g., discharge, demotion, blacklisting) and establish a defensible record.
Strategic enforcement & recovery potential: We develop a strategy that aligns your internal information with potential government enforcement action, enhancing chances of reward eligibility (up to 30% of recovered sanctions) and contributing to effective remediation or litigation.
Data-driven evidentiary foundation: Leveraging our deep financial-crime, AML/CFT and model/data-analytics experience, we assist in gathering, analyzing and packaging the data flows, suspicious-activity reporting (SAR) issues and internal control failures that underpin a successful claim.
Enhanced institutional compliance posture: Whether your disclosure leads to action or simply triggers internal reform, you help your organization strengthen its BSA/AML program, thereby reducing future risk and increasing regulatory confidence.
Our Services Include
Claim evaluation and planning – We conduct an initial intake to assess the nature of your information, map the applicable statute (BSA/AMLA), evaluate original-information status, statute of limitations, and develop a tailored disclosure strategy (internal vs external).
Retaliation risk analysis & documentation – We review employer actions, internal logs, HR files and communications to help document protected activity and potential adverse employment actions, and advise on safe-harbor steps to protect your rights.
Data, control- and transaction-analytics support – We assist in harvesting key transactional, monitoring, screening and SAR data, reconstructing control failures or internal escalation breakdowns, and preparing a fit-for-purpose evidentiary dossier.
Enforcement alignment & regulatory interface – We map how your disclosure may link to potential enforcement actions by Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) or other regulators, advise on counsel engagement, and help manage external-agency submissions and interactions.
Remediation and institutional advisory – We advise the institution (and you as the insider) on improving the BSA/AML programme, strengthening controls, responding to regulatory findings or consent-order conditions, and ensuring your disclosure leads to meaningful compliance reform.
Claim submission and reward optimization – We assist with structuring the submission of your disclosure under the AMLA whistleblower programme, advise on reward-eligibility factors (significance of information, assistance to enforcement, programmatic interest) and document the pathways to maximize potential recovery.
