Anti-Money Laundering Protocols

While DC-SERVICES does not engage in regulated financial transactions, we maintain a robust internal AML and Counter-Terrorist Financing policy. This proactive approach ensures we do not facilitate illicit activity through our documentation services. We conduct thorough counterparty due diligence on all institutional clients to verify their legitimacy and the provenance of the information we are tasked with recording. Our commitment to integrity means we reserve the right to decline engagements that present unmitigable reputational or compliance risks to the firm.

Operational Boundaries and Non-Advisory Scope

It is a frequent compliance query whether DC-SERVICES provides opinions on the viability of assets or the merits of a claim. We do not. Our role is strictly limited to the production of structured documentation and the maintenance of digital records. We act as a neutral registrar and intelligence provider. Any information provided by DC-SERVICES should not be construed as a recommendation to take any financial or legal action. Our reports are factual accounts of data and claim histories, intended to support the independent decision-making of the client's own compliance officers.

Every record passes a two-stage supervisory signoff.

Released records are sealed into the archive; any rework is logged in the rejection register and re-entered into stage one.
