About
An advisory practice in financial economic crime and compliance risk
The practice supports banks and financial institutions during regulatory programme remediation, e.g. consent orders, supervisory actions, and major audit-finding remediation, and the implementation of new regulatory frameworks, such as the latest updates to EU anti-money laundering legislation. AMP also supports multi-jurisdictional programme rollouts across EU entities.
AMP is based in Amsterdam and works EU-wide and beyond. AMP can leverage direct experience of EU, UK and US regulatory frameworks.
The practitioner you meet is the one doing the work
Over twenty years of financial economic crime and compliance experience
Adam Poole has over twenty years of financial economic crime and compliance risk management (FEC/FCC) experience across global banks and major European institutions, at global, regional, and country level. His expertise spans regulatory programme remediation, the implementation of new and amended regulation, and multi-jurisdictional rollouts, primarily across the EU, UK, and USA.
AMP focuses on advisory engagements for European banks, providing input on Dutch and international requirements, aligning practice with local and global best standards, and supporting the transition from regulator-driven remediation to sustainable business-as-usual operations.
Adam has held senior financial crimes roles at ABN AMRO, MUFG, HSBC, and Citi. At ABN AMRO, he advised on the bank's transaction monitoring effectiveness programme, providing input on Dutch requirements, leveraging international best practice, and supporting the transition from regulator-driven remediation to sustainable business-as-usual operations. As Head of Financial Crimes Compliance at MUFG Bank Europe, he led the framework for the consolidated entity from Amsterdam, advising the Management Board on financial crime risk and mitigation strategy, directing the rollout of the group's global programme across the European entities, and leading significant parts of the bank's remediation of a DNB regulatory instruction. At HSBC, he held a range of roles across London, Mexico, and the USA, implementing elements of the global overhaul carried out under the bank's Deferred Prosecution Agreement and overseeing regional and country teams. At Citi, he supported the regional implementation of the global programme, working through the operational issues, including data and system access, involved in standing up the team.
Whether responding to a regulatory instruction, implementing new legal requirements, or strengthening a bank's day-to-day FEC operations, Adam brings twenty years of senior practitioner experience and the discipline of doing the work, not directing it from a distance.
How an engagement works
Following an initial confidential conversation, AMP provides a written scope of work. Engagements typically begin with a current state assessment and a definition of the target state, with the resulting gap analysis informing the action plan that frames the engagement.
The work is carried out alongside the institution's own people. Documentation, the rationale behind decisions, and the practical knowledge to sustain the work are produced as the engagement progresses, rather than as a final deliverable.
