Iste & Iste advises companies on regulatory, corporate compliance and governance matters, helping them navigate the regulatory environments in which they operate and identify and manage legal risks before they materialise.
We advise on the full compliance lifecycle, from identifying applicable laws and sector-specific regulations to developing internal policies and procedures, establishing compliance frameworks, and managing regulatory investigations and enforcement proceedings. Our approach integrates legal and regulatory requirements with our clients’ operational structures and commercial priorities.
In relation to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) and the regulations of the Financial Crimes Investigation Board (MASAK), we advise on the assessment of regulatory obligations and obliged-entity status, know-your-customer (KYC) requirements, risk-based compliance processes, the development of policies and standard operating procedures (SOPs), and the management of regulatory risk. Our corporate compliance work also focuses on establishing sustainable internal governance, ethics, internal control and compliance frameworks.
