Fairway Financial Crime

Expert-led Solutions

Fairway Financial Crime was founded by Andrew Roberts, who has over 12 years’ experience in senior financial crime roles, designing new frameworks, overhauling existing ones and dealing with urgent remediation activities across all types of financial crime risks, and across multiple industries.

We emphasise the importance of combining strong foundational controls, advanced technologies, and a people-centred compliance culture.

We do not offer anything that is pre-designed or packaged but using our expertise and knowledge, we work with our clients to design and implement the assessments, frameworks, and controls which meet your needs.
