Anti-Money Laundering Supervision Modernisation
Providing DV cleared architecture and data analysis to inform HMRC's future Anti-Money Laundering Supervision platform, building the case for a full system replacement over a costly incremental upgrade.
The Challenge
HMRC's supervisory function relies on a ten-year-old AMLS platform that no longer meets current or future needs. Manual workarounds consume staff time, increase operational risk and constrain supervisory capacity. Upgrading the legacy platform would cost £4.5m to £7.5m yet deliver less than 10% of potential staff efficiency savings.
Our Solution
Supporting DV cleared architecture and data analysis for the future supervisory platform. Helping define the case for replacing, rather than incrementally upgrading, the current system. Contributing analysis that links operational pain points to future supervisory, policy and technology requirements.
The Outcome
Full replacement system estimated at around £23m, positioned as the stronger medium-term option against a legacy upgrade costing £4.5m to £7.5m with limited strategic value. Reduced manual workarounds, improved resilience and stronger staff efficiency gains through system replacement.
