Financial Crime Challenges for Mid-Sized Companies in Canada

Mid-sized companies in Canada encounter unique challenges when it comes to financial crime. At Valenta, we specialize in Financial Crime Consultation and offer expert advice tailored to the Canadian landscape. Our services encompass risk assessment, regulatory compliance, policy development, training, and awareness programs to combat financial crime effectively.

Here are the key challenges that our clients in Canada frequently face :

  • Resource Constraints: Mid-sized companies often lack the dedicated staff and resources required for robust financial crime prevention. While larger corporations can afford dedicated departments, mid-sized companies may face budgetary limitations or difficulty finding individuals with the necessary skills.
  • Technology Infrastructure: Mid-sized companies in Canada may have limited access to sophisticated technology infrastructure, including anti-fraud software, data analytics tools, and automated monitoring systems. Furthermore, they may struggle to identify reputable providers of these essential tools.
  • Evolving Regulatory Landscape: Financial crime regulations and compliance requirements in Canada are subject to continuous change. Mid-sized companies can find it challenging to keep pace with these evolving regulations and ensure ongoing compliance. Failure to comply can result in financial penalties and legal consequences.
  • Lack of Experience: Many Canadian companies, especially mid-sized ones, may have limited experience and understanding of various types of financial crime, such as money laundering, fraud, bribery, and corruption. This lack of awareness can make them more vulnerable to these activities.
