A financial compliance framework constitutes a structured set of rules, policies, and procedures designed to ensure an organization adheres to relevant laws and regulations. This framework includes measures for anti-money laundering, know-your-customer, sanctions screening, and data protection. Its purpose is to mitigate legal and reputational risks, prevent financial crime, and maintain market integrity. Establishing a robust framework is critical for operating legitimately within the financial sector, including digital asset markets.
