Compliance
We build and maintain a system of compliance with Kazakhstan legislation and internal company standards: AML/CFT and KYC, counterparty checks, anti-corruption and corporate policies, personal data protection (Law of the RK No. 94-V), industry regulatory compliance, staff training and support during inspections. We help meet bank and regulator requirements when opening accounts and operating in the AIFC.
What's included
- AML/CFT and KYC procedures
- Counterparty checks and due diligence
- Anti-corruption policies
- Personal data protection (No. 94-V)
- Regulatory compliance and audit
- Staff training and inspection support
What we do
- Turnkey compliance policies: internal AML/CFT control rules, KYC procedures, sanctions screening policy — tailored to Kazakhstan's legislation, and for AIFC participants — to AFSA rules
- Counterparty due diligence: registries, beneficiaries, sanctions lists, litigation history — with a clear conclusion: proceed, proceed with conditions, or decline
- Sanctions screening: one-off transaction check or setup of an ongoing screening process
- Staff training: hands-on training sessions in Russian and English
- Support with bank inquiries: when a payment is held and AML documents are requested — we help you respond correctly
Who needs this
- Entities subject to financial monitoring under the AML/CFT law — the list is broad: from microfinance organizations to realtors and law firms
- AIFC companies: AFSA requires a compliance function already at the licensing stage
- Exporters and importers operating under sanctions restrictions — especially those dealing with Russian, Chinese, and European counterparties
- Any business that a bank has ever asked to "show your compliance policy"
How we work
We start with a rapid diagnostic: which requirements apply specifically to your business and what's missing. Next comes a personalized commercial proposal with stages and cost estimate, document and process development, and team training.
Compliance isn't a one-off folder of documents. Legislation and sanctions lists change; we keep policies up to date and stay in touch whenever a bank or regulator has questions.
Frequently asked questions
We're a small company — do we really need this?
If you're a financial monitoring subject or work with foreign payments — yes. Fines and account freezes cost more than prevention, and a basic document package doesn't take months to prepare.
How long does it take to set up compliance from scratch?
A basic document package and team training take from a few weeks, depending on your line of business. We'll give you an exact timeline after the rapid diagnostic.
Do you prepare reports in English?
Yes, we prepare counterparty due diligence and screening reports in both Russian and English — suitable for showing to foreign partners and banks.
