MLRO Advisory Services for Financial Businesses
Even a strong MLRO faces calls they should not make alone. We advise your appointed officer directly, giving expert support on the hard judgements and technical questions the role throws up across Canada.
Expert Backing for Your Own MLRO
Your appointed MLRO carries real personal responsibility, and some decisions are genuinely hard to make alone. We give your officer a senior adviser to turn to, someone to test a tricky judgement against, talk through an escalation with, or check a technical point with, so the officer is never left guessing.
Advice for the Person in the Role
This is support for your MLRO, not a replacement for them. We advise the person who holds the role, helping them work through difficult reporting decisions, risk calls, and regulator questions with an experienced voice behind them. Your officer keeps the role and the responsibility, but no longer carries the hardest judgements alone, which means better decisions.
Judgement Support
We help your MLRO test the tricky judgement calls they face.
Escalation Advice
We talk through the difficult escalations with your appointed officer directly.
Technical Questions
We answer the hard technical points your own MLRO runs into.
Regulator Queries
We advise your officer on handling any questions from the regulator.

MLRO Advisory Questions
Clear answers to the questions businesses ask most about giving their appointed MLRO expert advisory support right across Canada today.
What exactly is MLRO advisory?
It is expert advisory support for your appointed MLRO, helping them with the hard judgements, escalations, and technical questions the role brings.
Do you take over the role?
No. Your MLRO keeps the appointed role and its responsibility. We advise and support them, we do not hold the role ourselves.
Is MLRO the Canadian term?
Canada uses CAMLO under the PCMLTFA, though MLRO is widely understood. We advise the person holding the appointed role either way.
How does this differ from a deputy?
A deputy is a second officer who does the work. Advisory is guidance for your MLRO, who keeps doing the role themselves.
When would our MLRO use it?
For a tricky reporting call, a hard escalation, a technical grey area, or any judgement where a senior second opinion helps.
