RegSearch AI
UNDER REGULATORY DEADLINE ?
If you have had a finding or an injunction, the clock is already running. Darren can assess the position and shape a credible remediation plan to the regulator's date.
What we do
Four disciplines, one practitioner
The same discipline runs through all four: turn the obligation into a working control, then evidence it.
01 · AML / CFT
Financial crime compliance
Framework, policy and oversight for firms that carry AML obligations, with MLRO-level accountability behind it.
✓ AML/CFT framework & risk assessment
✓ Sanctions screening & escalation
✓ MLRO support & board MI
03 · AI governance
AI governance & strategy
Govern AI the way a supervisor expects: documented, controlled and evidenced. We also shape the use cases and run proofs of concept with your team, so the capability stays in-house.
✓ EU AI Act readiness & ISO/IEC 42001
✓ AI operating model, board education & strategy
✓ Help design and build in-house AI use-cases
02 · Remediation
AML/KYC remediation
Respond to a supervisory finding with a defensible plan, then run the look-back that closes it, and keeps it closed.
✓ Findings interpretation & remediation plans
✓ Ongoing due diligence & file look-backs
✓ Remediation alongside platform migration
04 · Regulatory change
Regulatory change monitoring
Know what is changing under the licence you actually hold, before it lands, and what it means for your policies and controls.
✓ Horizon scanning by licence & jurisdiction
✓ Change mapped to your policies & controls
✓ Impact assessments with audit-ready evidence
When the regulator writes, the deadline isn't for the fix. It's for the plan.

EU AI Act
Injunctions and formal findings demand a remediation plan, or a credible alternative, on a fixed deadline.
Onboarding is usually solid. Periodic review, trigger events and refresh cycles are where files drift.
Remediating while implementing a client-lifecycle platform is where programmes stall. It needs both skill sets at once.
AI obligations arrive in stages by risk tier, including the AI now embedded in screening and monitoring.
THE GAP
Knowing isn't showing
Most firms know which obligations apply to them. Far fewer can open a file and show the control that satisfies it. Supervisors test what you can produce, not what you know, and that gap is where remediation programmes come apart.

YOUR ADVISER
One senior practitioner
Darren Douglas
AML/CFT · Remediation · AI governance
Luxembourg · LinkedIn ↗
Senior AML/KYC, financial crime and regulatory remediation leader, combining MLRO accountability with EMEA CDD/AML, sanctions and regulatory risk experience, and a track record of delivering governed remediation programmes.
At Fenergo he shaped a global AML/KYC standard model spanning 56 jurisdictions, including UBO and risk-assessment tooling and the KYC rules logic behind a leading client-lifecycle platform, so remediation can run alongside a platform implementation rather than behind it.
He has since founded two Luxembourg RegTech ventures built on the same discipline and serves as Global Ambassador and Governor for Responsible AI with the Global Council for Responsible AI.
