- Assist our professionals to audit financial institutions in the implementation of the regulations, participate in testing;
- Have a consulting function and advise on the processes of the financial institutions relating to FATCA/CRS/QI;

- Help to implement the proposed solutions and accompany the clients in implementing them;
- Analyse the compliance of financial institutions (due diligence) and make sure that they collect the right information on their clients;
- Participate in the production of reporting that the financial institutions are obliged to deliver to the Luxembourgish fiscal administration;
