What Others Are Saying

We brought in this firm to help us when our compliance program got out of control back in 1998. They’ve been a big help to us ever since… in fact, they are the longest-lived consultant our bank ever had.

These guys are good. They helped get our program out of the ditch with a workable compliance plan – which they’ve updated for us twice. They managed to get a compliance team spirit going in the bank – even the BDOs are on board. The outside auditor has rated our program at a “9” (out of 10) for the past four years – and the auditor say, “I never give anybody a 10.”

They came in to help us a few years back. We liked the way they do business. They’re focused on helping us, not on their billing. One of their execs serves on our compliance committee and is a big part of our compliance management.

I hear good things about them wherever I travel in my state. I think one of their best attributes is they aren’t just compliance geeks. They understand how compliance has to fit in with the bank’s mission to serve customers and make money. In my experience, it’s rare to find compliance people with a highly developed sense of a bank’s true mission.

We lost two key compliance people inside of 6 weeks. Fortunately, A&M was able to pick up the slack and keep our routines going, We also had them in to present (via a webinar) to our Board. That was an eye-opening experience for them. We’re still getting good feedback almost three months later.

I call these guys when I’m looking to put together a marketing program that will stand up to my corporate compliance officer’s questions. They’re good, fast and so, far, they get a “thumbs up” from the Compliance Department.

I’ve seen their work in more than one bank. They’re well organized and well informed on what it takes to achieve and maintain compliance.
