Protect. Control. Align.
Independent compliance advice, training and third-party screening for asset managers, commodity traders and corporations.
Faros Compliance supports organisations in Geneva, across Switzerland and internationally that operate in demanding regulatory environments. We work closely with three types of clients, each with its own risks and responsibilities.
Operating under a FINMA licence means meeting high expectations every day. We help portfolio managers and wealth managers maintain a robust, independent compliance function, prepare for their supervisory organisation’s reviews and audits, and apply anti-money laundering, know-your-client and conduct rules with confidence.
From policies and procedures to client screening and staff training, we help you meet your obligations while you focus on your clients.
Trading across borders brings complex and fast-changing risks. We help trading companies navigate sanctions and trade restrictions, screen counterparties, vessels and partners, and build effective anti-bribery and due diligence controls throughout their supply chains.
Our aim is simple: to help you trade with confidence, knowing your exposure is understood and managed.
We help companies build governance, ethics and anti-bribery frameworks, codes of conduct, speak-up procedures and third-party due diligence, tailored to their business and international footprint.
We work across every industry, with particular expertise in high-value goods such as luxury and precious metals, and in high-risk areas such as dual-use goods, oil and shipping.
Governance frameworks, codes of conduct, ethics programmes and conflict-of-interest rules, with clear internal policies and procedures written for your organisation.
Practical guidance on the rules that apply to you, ongoing briefings on regulatory and sanctions developments, and training that helps your teams recognise risk early.
Anti-money laundering (AML), sanctions, politically exposed persons (PEPs), beneficial ownership, adverse media and reputational risk checks on clients, employees, suppliers, vendors and partners, before and during the relationship.
Programmes, controls and guidance that keep your business clear of sanctions and export restrictions, including dual-use goods. We also help you build or select automated and AI-assisted screening solutions.
Independent compliance assessments and gap analysis with a prioritised plan, and a proportionate framework to monitor and reduce compliance risk.
Confidential reporting channels that bring concerns to light early, and discreet, independent investigations from fact-finding to remediation.
Whatever your sector, our approach follows the same principle. We protect your business before risks arise, control exposure through ongoing assessments and monitoring, and align your practices with the rules whenever change or issues occur.
Policies, training and third-party screening that safeguard your business before risks arise.
Compliance assessments, gap analysis and ongoing monitoring that keep your risk in hand.
Clear guidance and corrective action that bring your practices back in line when issues occur.
Faros is the Greek word for lighthouse: a steady light that helps you see risk early and find your way through it.
