FCS COMPLIANCE CONSULTANCY SERVICES:
HMRC INSPECTION SUPPORT SERVICE
The prospect of an inspection from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is understandably daunting. With these visits on the rise, businesses must ensure they are fully prepared in order to minimise any potential issues. FCS Compliance can support you throughout the whole process, from helping you prepare in advance, to meeting inspectors and providing onsite support, to assisting with any actions that are consequently required.
HMRC MOCK INSPECTION SERVICE
We will work with you to go through a series of steps, similar to those undertaken by an HMRC Inspector. We will also walk you through what typically happens during an HMRC Inspection from start to finish, exposing any potential risk areas. Plus, with our suite of support services, we can also help you make the necessary changes.
SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY REPORTS CONSULTANCY
We offer specialist advice and guidance around the Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) regime and can support you in your liaisons with the National Crime Agency (NCA).
Excellent training. We have had really positive feedback from all our staff, especially the Partners. We all agreed it was far more interesting than we envisaged and that’s probably down to Malcolm, managing to make what is considered a dull subject, into something tangible and real. Everyone is now very aware and rejuvenated in AML processes.

My firm has been using the services of FCS for quite some time. Having explored companies that provide a similar service we were, and continue to be, very impressed with the attention to detail, expeditious response to queries and knowledge of all matters AML related that are provided by the FCS team. As a result of the high level of service we receive my firm has recommended FCS to numerous other companies, all of whom have thanked us for doing so.

Compliance has been a daunting task for our negotiators but moving our AML compliance to FCS Compliance has significantly helped our business. The whole process of compliance ever since FCS took over has been seamless and efficient.

“A lot of other companies claim to be ‘experts’ in AML intelligence, but sit on the fence when asked for specific advice. This is not the case with FCS. Having used their services for over a year, we honestly cannot recommend them enough.”

We were a little behind in our protocols and they efficiently trained us and provided us with all the documentation and information we needed to get up to speed with the current regulations as well as providing support with the HMRC directly. We are really grateful for this service, they are a delight to deal with and we would very much recommend FCS to anyone looking to get their affairs in order.”

I have to say absolutely fantastic course delivered by FCS. Well done and an extremely useful course which should be rolled out across the board as compulsory.

“The recent presentation to the Wales Fraud Forum’s Annual Conference was very entertaining, if ‘entertaining’ is the right word to use to describe events of theft, deception, extortion and murder! It was certainly enlightening and informative. The story was presented in an engaging way, bringing to life the complex timeline of real life events and enabling us to see the overall picture. The presenter has an easy style but talks with clarity and authority. Everyone was on the edge of their seat waiting to hear what happened in the end”.

We are pleased to recommend FCS in the field of Anti-Money Laundering Training to all who need training in this field”.

We found them to be very knowledgeable and with many years of experience in this field, they were very approachable and happy to answer questions. We even probed them for a few things some days after the course and they gladly advised and provided us with further information.”
