Overview

Old files are a hidden liability

Customer information goes out of date. Documents expire, businesses change ownership and activity drifts away from what was expected at onboarding. Regulators and auditors often test long-standing customers precisely because files have not been refreshed.

Hilix sets up review cycles by risk rating and manages remediation as a project: segmentation, prioritisation, customer outreach, evidence collection, decisions and exit recommendations. Progress is tracked daily so you can show your board and regulator exactly where the programme stands.

How we work

How we take over or build your compliance function

Diagnose

We review your policies, risk assessment, case files, queues and systems to see what works, what is missing and what is exposed.

Design

We agree scope, service levels, escalation rules and the decisions that stay with your MLRO, then document them.

Operate

Our analysts work inside your tools, clear queues to agreed SLAs and record every decision with evidence.

Report and improve

Weekly and monthly MI, quality checks and trend analysis feed continuous improvement and board reporting.

FAQ

Periodic Reviews & KYC Remediation: common questions

How large a remediation can you handle?

We scale teams to the project, from a few hundred files to large back books, with QA built in throughout.

Will customers be disrupted?

We use clear communications, sensible deadlines and staged restrictions to minimise friction for genuine customers.

Can remediation run alongside daily KYC?

Yes. We usually ring-fence a remediation team so daily onboarding SLAs are not affected.
