"Crispin is an AML/CTF specialist adept at navigating the complexities of AML and able to both design new AML programs and remediate existing processes. He is very pragmatic in his approach with a “business sense” practicality inherent to his AML/CTF consultancy, even when resolving complex issues. He is also very easy to work with. I’d highly recommend his services."
Head of Service Provider Management, Magellan Financial Group
"Crispin delivered AML / KYC training to a Financial Crime group and was fantastic. His knowledge on this subject is next level, and he has a way of making days of training engaging and interesting, and embedding the knowledge in the people that attended."
Divisional Change Lead, Westpac
"I have known Crispin for many years, in a personal and professional way, and always found him to be passionate, reliable and good at his job, the roles with it and organisations he works for. Crispin and I spent time at ANZ on a project to develop and improve the Sanctions framework/program for the Bank (Group). This was successfully completed in 2008/09 and has been the foundation of their strong compliance framework since."
Manager, AML/CTF, ANZ
"Crispin crafted the RFP for CBA's flagship new Financial Crimes workflow solution while working on the Sanctions Program at CBA. He meticulously prepared a detailed requirements document that led to the procurement of a cutting edge BPM solution for CBA's Group Security business. His knowledge and expertise in the Sanctions and AML space were fundamental in ensuring the RFP requirements were both comprehensive and stringent, ensuring a successful risk outcome for the CBA Group."
