Taskforce Team Response - How this can benefit your organisation

DCM has cultivated a highly adaptive and multi skilled Taskforce unit. A panoply of skilled and high-performing professionals who have delivered on previous engagements together and who are retained by DCM. Our team units are trusted, proven and easy to work with! We rotate our teams from project to project ensuring continuity of service and quality of delivery.

Three key takeaways:
Cost is very important – a flexible taskforce provides a rapid fix with a discernible cost advantage
Psychological safety; Empowered, Trusted and Cohesive response teams stand a much better chance of delivering Regulatory Programmes against a tight deadline
In the KYC & AML space, continuity of teams/ resource is a major value enhancer

We operate 3 business lines, A KYC & AML Managed Service, Flexible Compliance on-demand and our Standby Service. We need the very best talent in the market to make our services beam! We focus exclusively within the Anti-FinCrime domain supporting a global network of Banks, FinTechs, Payment Firms, Challengers, BaaS providers and Start-ups.

 

Our Taskforce teams are deployed on an interim basis to deliver key programmes for our clients:

  • CDD remediation
  • KYC Backlog Reviews
  • Transaction Monitoring Alert Clearing
  • AML investigations & EDD sign-off
  • Reviewing Fraud Spikes & SAR reporting
  • Assurance and Advisory services across all Financial Crime Risk domains [Money Laundering, Tax Evasion, ABC, Fraud, Sanctions]. 

Given the scrutiny and time-bound nature of our programmes the ramp-up and assimilation must be immediate.

 

Assess the Need

Our response teams are assembled and deployed from our pre-vetted bench. All consultants embody a high-productivity mindset, combined with deep SME knowledge and practical awareness of managing and mitigating Risk.

If the programme is highly target driven, we engage those consultants with the unique ability to deliver throughput under intense pressure. 

On the Advisory side, our practitioners have real life experience providing purpose-led consulting. Skilled and adaptable, helping firms solve complex regulatory breaches.

 

Skills and Capabilities

Our expertise comprises; Junior KYC Analysts, SeniorAnalysts, QA, Team Leads, SMEs, Operations directors, FinCrime Practitioners and Interim MLROs. We are highly focused on promoting our teams through the ranks. As a firm we place no blockers in the way of career progression and advancement. We like to reward exceptional standards on a regular basis and keep our teams incentivised and motivated.

 

Trust

This is the big one. Trust. Cohesive teams who know and trust each other create psychological safety (teams who are made to feel safe to learn, contribute, and challenge effectively). Bringing together a pre-established team who collaborate effectively significantly increases the chances of delivering these short-term Regulatory Programmes against a tight deadline.

As we know, there is considerable downward pressure on targets, quality, and maintaining high standards consistently. A key component is stamina, being reliably relentless to deliver day-in day-out. A team that trusts each other, is more likely to unlock their true potential and produce superior results.

Flexibility

This is the major plus! We offer a pay-as-you-go service with no lock in period – our clients love the flexibility we can offer. A responsive and flexible set-up to help organisations manage costs and remain agile and efficient. We have the capabilities and talent network to dial-up and dial-down our Taskforce on demand. A real value enhancer ensuring our customers are not locked into long-term fixed cost.
