Industry

The compliance and AML/CFT advisory sector in Ghana is still developing, presenting unique opportunities for businesses within this domain. While compliance and AML/CFT advisory services may not have been prioritized by financial institutions in the past due to leniency from regulators, the current stricter regulatory environment has made compliance non-negotiable. This shift has increased the industry’s prospects, paving the way for future growth.

Our primary target market encompasses all financial institutions, with initial focus on savings and loans institutions, rural banks, and microfinance institutions, followed by banks.

Legal structure

ELMARK Pro Compliance operates as a sole proprietorship, duly registered under the laws of the Republic of Ghana.
