At A Glance

One of Australia’s largest wagering platforms launched a strategic review of its financial crime technology in response to rising costs and evolving regulatory requirements. WhiteLight AML was engaged to lead the review, evaluate global vendors and guide the procurement process.

Challenges

  • Escalating compliance technology costs

  • Need to assess global AML/CTF vendor solutions against future regulatory needs

  • Requirement for robust procurement governance and audit trail

Solutions

WhiteLight AML chaired the review project, leading a cross-functional team of compliance, operations, technology and procurement staff. A detailed RFI document was created through workshops, functional analysis and future needs mapping, informed by WhiteLight AML’s deep expertise in screening, CDD, transaction monitoring and reporting.

Over 30 vendors from around the world were assessed in an initial pass, narrowed down to a shortlist of 10. These vendors were scored against the RFI requirements, and the top three presented detailed demonstrations to the review team. Throughout the process, WhiteLight AML ensured clear governance, documentation and fortnightly reporting to procurement and senior compliance stakeholders.
