Lawrence Hanlin has joined the KPMG team after a 16 year career with a leading bank, where his role focused on regulatory and operational risk, managing special projects, looking at banking operations and compliance risk assessment in a number of offices globally.

Lawrence’s new role at KPMG will entail the delivery of advice and training to clients and staff on specialised subjects such as AML, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance, in both Gibraltar and the Isle of Man. He will also manage a team of Forensic Analysts assisting companies across the offshore regions with client risk assessment and take-on, through the provision of public source search and integrity due diligence services.

Lawrence’s new role will build upon many elements of his career to date, and complements a proven track record in presenting complex subjects to customers and colleagues. 

In his private life, Lawrence is a keen Rugby fan and this year took to cycling with conviction having completed a 77-mile tour of the Isle of Man for charity. In his younger years, he was a keen athlete, and was also a Scottish sprint champion.

Commenting on his appointment, Lawrence noted that moving to a new company after 16 years presents new challenges, he added, ‘however I have a sound background to build upon and am confident that I will relish the experience.

‘KPMG is a globally recognised name and joining them provides me with a significant opportunity to advance my career and progress as a key specialist within the largest and most diverse advisory team working in Gibraltar and the Isle of Man.’

Micky Swindale, managing director at KPMG Gibraltar, also commented,  ‘Lawrence is a fantastic addition to the team and brings with him invaluable experience in AML, as well as expertise in fraud prevention – which he ably demonstrated in his presentation at our KPMG Summer School event on 15 July - at a crucial stage for our jurisdiction.’
