Practical AML and AI governance for regulated organisations — from regulatory gap assessments to controls, documentation and implementation.
Evgeniia Azeeva
Senior AML & AI Governance Advisor
I'm a Senior AML & AI Governance Advisor with experience supporting payment institutions, fintechs and other regulated organisations across Europe.
My background includes roles at BNP Paribas, OneSpan, Mastercard, Edenred PayTech and iBanFirst, where I designed and strengthened AML/CFT frameworks, risk-based controls and governance across compliance, KYC, sanctions and regulatory programmes.
Today, I combine this experience with AI Governance, helping organisations translate regulatory requirements into practical governance, operational controls and business processes.
Why companies bring me in — and how we get there together.
Practical support with a clear deliverable at each stage — who it is for, and what you walk away with.
For organisations using AI in regulated or customer-facing processes
Get a clear AI inventory, risk classification and gap assessment — then a governance framework, documentation and oversight model you can defend to regulators and auditors.
For financial institutions and other regulated organisations
Deliver practical AML/CFT programmes covering customer due diligence, policies and procedures, financial crime controls and regulatory compliance.
For organisations relying on third-party providers and outsourced services
Design practical due diligence processes, third-party risk assessments and oversight frameworks to help organisations identify, assess and manage third-party risks while meeting regulatory expectations.
For regulated organisations strengthening their internal controls
Develop tailored risk assessment methodologies and control frameworks to help organisations identify risks, prioritise remediation and implement effective, proportionate internal controls.
For short-staffed compliance functions needing extra capacity
Bring in experienced second-line support for a specific project, audit preparation, policy refresh or interim cover — with a clear scope and handover.
