Peter A Gallo

Admitted as a Solicitor in Scotland and Hong Kong, Peter also graduated with an MBA from Strathclyde Business School in 1989, and also qualified to practice law in New York.

He has lived and worked in Asia since 1992, initially specialising in proactive pre-investment Due Diligence investigations, assisting clients with their "KYC" information needs. In addition, he has been involved in investigating fraud and other financial crime; mostly by tracing the funds through the perpetrator's attempts to conceal and launder the money.

With the shift in emphasis of anti-Money Laundering compliance to being "risk-based" he is therefore uniquely and ideally qualified to recognise and advise on potentially suspicious activity, and has the background and experience to initiate and manage an appropriate level of affirmative Due Diligence where it is necessary.

Peter has been retained by a major international body to advice regional governments on addressing terrorist financing, he has written a number of articles on money laundering & terrorist financing issues and is frequently invited to speak on the subject.
