— The "Show Me" Test
The real question regulators ask isn't "do you have a policy?"
It's "why did you decide this — and can you prove it?"
Most compliance work sells inputs: policies, manuals, systems. We build the output that earns regulator confidence — a documented, reasoned standpoint behind every decision your firm makes. So when "show me" arrives, the answer is already on the shelf.
Our work isn't to build walls against the regulator. It's to find the workable ground where regulatory intent and business reality meet — and keep it on record, before the question is asked.
— Services
Five engagements. Each built to produce a reasoned standpoint — workable for your business, recognised by your regulator.
01
A four-to-six week diagnostic across KYC, STR, sanctions, transaction monitoring, and governance. We read the gap between your policy and your decision trail.
Gap report · Remediation roadmap · Board memo
02
A live simulation drawing on years of responding to regulator inquiries. We work through your live cases with your team and pinpoint where the reasoning could be strengthened before the questions arrive.
Half-day to two-day engagement
03
A six-month retainer for newly appointed Compliance Officers and MLROs. Twice-monthly 1:1s, unbounded async support — we train you to reason — and reconcile — every decision before it's made.
Monthly retainer
04
A focused review of a single thematic area, chosen with you — wherever decision quality concentrates the risk. Sample case analysis, case-by-case decision review, front-to-back playbook for the patterns that recur.
Case library · Policy refinement · Reference handbook
05
A half-day in-house workshop. We teach your teams — front to back — how to leave a decision trail that holds, even years later, even when the questions get tough.
Per-session engagement
06
When findings have already landed. We assess, advise, and review — supporting your response across look-back design, control improvements, and the progress reporting that rebuilds regulator confidence over the months that follow.
Assessment · Strategy advice · Response review
— By Invitation
Regulator-mandated independent reviews, expert witness work, and selective non-executive director appointments. By referral and capacity only.

— About
Standpoint Advisory is led by Erica Hung.
Erica founded Standpoint Advisory after a decade leading financial crime prevention controls for UBS across Asia Pacific. As regional lead, she was the person who answered when regulators walked through the door — across Wealth Management, Investment Banking, and Asset Management, in fifteen-person teams spanning Hong Kong, Singapore, India, and China.
Standpoint Advisory exists to put that capability within reach of the institutions that need it most: private banks, family offices, and licensed corporations who would rather build a defensible standpoint now than discover the gap mid-inspection.
I've sat in the seat where the regulator asks the questions. Now I help others answer them — before they're asked.
