Anya Bhimani Bio (LinkedIn)
KPMG is a world leader at combatting financial crime through Customer Due Diligence (CDD). The process of CDD exists to detect & combat Financial Crime (FinCrime) across the Financial Services (FS) sector globally. This activity is a regulatory requirement on banks across the globe, and is mandated and monitored by the likes of the US Dept of Justice (DoJ), the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) at the Bank of England, and the European Central Bank (ECB).FinCrime prevention includes activities such as: Running anti-money laundering (AML) activities; prevention of sanctions busting; or the detection of illicit payments to Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs). Assisting banks with their CDD responsibilities in the UK alone is a business line for KPMG responsible for well in excess of £100M of annual revenue.
KPMG is globally a sector-leading firm in CDD. To maintain this market edge, KPMG UK is investing £7M in a product called Perpetual Know Your Customer (pKYC), which is a CDD solution that streamlines & automates the FinCrime monitoring process for large financial institutions. pKYC is seen as the spearhead for KPMG’s push to dominate the next generation of FinCrime services. The Product Owner for pKYC, is Anya Bhimani.
