Client stories

Evidence from firms that sat through our sampling

These accounts mention specific engagements. They are not marketplace star ratings — they are what compliance and finance leads said after the memorandum was issued.

“Their sample on our wallet safeguarding run caught a same-day timing gap we had been calling ‘immaterial’ for months. The memorandum gave the board a clear sequence instead of another vague risk register line.”

Mei-Ling Chen
Head of Compliance, licensed e-money issuer

Safeguarding Arrangement Review

“We brought them in six weeks before an examination notice closed. The readiness dry run exposed missing bank acknowledgement letters — useful, though their evidence list was heavier than our two-person compliance team expected at first.”

Thomas Hsieh
COO, payment institution

Pre-Examination Readiness Assessment

“The lender portfolio check did not rubber-stamp our underwriting exceptions. Finding #3 on collections handoffs still sits in our remediation tracker, and that honesty was why we asked them back for the controls audit.”

Aria Wu
Chief Risk Officer, consumer lender

Lender Portfolio Control Check

“Fieldwork in Chiayi and remote sample testing for our Taipei ops desk stayed coordinated. We received a signed assurance memorandum we could attach to investor diligence without rewriting the narrative.”

Jonathan Park
CFO, cross-border remittance firm

Safeguarding Arrangement Review

E-money issuer, single safeguarding bank

The client asked for a three-week review ahead of an investor diligence pack. Daily reconciliations looked clean on the face of the report; sampling of unmatched settlements showed a recurring same-day float parked in suspense past the firm’s own policy cut-off. Finding #1 required a same-day close procedure and a board attestation update. The signed review letter attached to diligence without rewriting.

Pre-Examination Readiness Assessment

Payment institution facing a compressed notice window

Six weeks remained before the examination file freeze. We ran a document-trail dry run and interview rehearsal for treasury and compliance owners. Missing bank acknowledgement letters surfaced on day four — awkward timing for a lean team, but recoverable before supervisors arrived. The gap register went to the board with owners and dates, not a traffic-light slide.
