GoldShield
Advisors

 

​

We know, we know...the website is looking a little underdeveloped, kind of like an AML compliance program before the auditors show up. But don’t worry, GoldShield Advisors is already up and running, helping fintechs + gold, precious metals dealers and MSBs navigate the complex world of anti-money laundering (AML) compliance. 

​

​

HERE'S What We Do Really Well

​

• Independent BSA/AML/OFAC Reviews – If you’re required to undergo an AML compliance review, don't leave this task to just anyone and make sure they are truly independent and qualified in AML.  Some accounting firms  will offer this service despite being unqualified and rely on you not knowing the difference.  At GoldShield we are career financial crime-fighters, regulatory experts  and certified anti-money-laundering specialists with global experience. We’ll handle your review with precision (and minimal headaches). 

​

• Compliance Program Development – Using a copy-paste or worse... "boilerplate" compliance program from 2015? Auditors often see this as an indication that you aren't serious about compliance. Someone who doesn't really know your business will eventually challenge this.  That's why you need a bulletproof AML program that satisfies regulators and banking partners.  We’ve got you covered. 

​

• Risk Assessments & Training – We help you understand your risks and make sure your team knows what they’re doing. Are the AML training materials you are using generic or dated? GoldShield will provide you will customized training that is up-to-date and specific to your industry.

​

• Enhanced Due Diligence and Investigations – We offer due diligence and enhanced due diligence services to clients. Need to know more about a third-party such as a potential client or vendor? Contact GoldShield and find out what they ate for breakfast.  

​

• Ongoing Advisory Support – Questions about suspicious transactions, record-keeping, or that “friendly” regulatory inquiry? Contact us before it’s an emergency.  We will see that you can stand up to any outside scrutiny by helping you fix your mess while demonstrating the highest standards.
