About the service

Regulatory and AML/CFT consulting is provided by both Benedixus OÜ and Benedixus Advisors OÜ. Benedixus OÜ acts as a financial institution whose authorisation (FFA000350, issued by the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board) expressly covers the provision of advice to clients; Benedixus Advisors OÜ provides corporate advisory services in Estonia and abroad.

What the service covers

  • Regulatory analysis. Review of the applicable requirements (RahaPTS, RSanS, sector-specific rules) against the client’s business model, with practical recommendations.

  • Compliance set-up. Assistance in developing procedural rules, internal control and a risk-assessment methodology, and support with their implementation.

  • Practical sessions for the client’s team. Working workshops and briefings for staff whose duties involve establishing business relationships and carrying out transactions — as support in meeting the staff-training obligation under RahaPTS § 55.

  • Case and typology review. Current schemes, indicators of suspicious transactions, and the procedure for acting and notifying the Financial Intelligence Unit.

  • Ongoing methodological support. Advice as and when needed, in response to regulatory or structural changes.
