CA team is a consulting firm specialized in the Compliance Field. Established with the primary purpose to be a trusted partner in a highly regulated environment. We believe that Compliance is the foundation of great services.

Compliance is not a one-off activity – it is an ongoing process. Reducing compliance risk is one of the key essentials for constantly changing requirements and regulations. Adaptation to those changes often requires a lot of effort combined with limited resources, resulting in a tick the box exercise.

As a reliable outsource partner, CA team helps organizations to achieve the complex expectations of regulators. Focussed in Compliance consulting, outsourcing and independent AML testing, through high-quality standards and tailored approach, provide personalised engagement for small to mid-sized institutions across the industry.
