We have been providing services related to the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing for more than 18 years. In this area we carry out auditing, consultancy, outsourcing and training projects.
Informa Consulting, through its Managing Partner, Sergio Salcines, is part of a Working Group with the Sepblac and the Treasury for the discussion of the regulation and, specifically, for the amendment of Order 2444/2007, which regulates the content of the External Expert Report. It should be noted that Informa Consulting is the only entity that is part of this Working Group that is not a Big4.
In addition, we are members of the AML-CTF Commission of the General Council of Spanish Lawyers and members of the Group of External Experts in AML-CTF matters of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Spain.

- External Expert Reports
Our Partners Mr. Sergio Salcines and Ms. Cecilia Carrasco have been registered with Sepblac as External Experts since the creation of the External Expert Register and we issue more than 130 External Expert Reports annually for more than 350 regulated entities.
We use our own methodology developed internally in our firm, whereby we use review checklists, work templates, etc., which allows us to be very effective and efficient. Our work is based on close cooperation with our clients in order to not only identify possible non-compliance, but also to guide and advise them on best practices in the market, implement improvements or solve deficiencies. Our priority is to give our clients peace of mind in the event of an inspection and to ensure that they are confident in their anti-money laundering system.
