Preventing and detecting financial crime is rapidly becoming one of the greatest challenges for financial institutions — impacting not just monetary losses, but reputation, brand, culture, relationships and regulatory censure. Our integrated approach to financial crime risk doesn’t just protect your business — it builds the confidence to move forward with purpose and resilience.

PwC’s Financial Crimes Unit combines deep regulatory, investigative and tech experience with the strength of 2,000+ global specialists — spanning cybersecurity, anti-money laundering, sanctions, fraud and anti-corruption. Our adaptive, end-to-end approach mirrors how top financial institutions and government agencies tackle risk. When your systems are secure, your tech is future-ready and your operations are compliant — you’re free to move forward where others get stuck.

Fraud

Fraudsters are constantly adapting their schemes to make detection by traditional fraud models more difficult. Meanwhile, regulators expect financial institutions to improve their fraud management programs. PwC can help by providing services that go beyond core compliance programs, internal controls and traditional risk management. Our approach is flexible and tailored — built around your culture, your needs and the broader financial crime landscape that surrounds them.

Anti-bribery and corruption

As global business opportunities expand, so do the risks of international corruption. Governments are responding with serious action — through measures like the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the UK Bribery Act. Regulators are investigating public and private corruption to promote fair and transparent business practices. At PwC, we understand you need to stay ahead of the curve to conform to international expectations while continuing global expansion.
