KPMG Forensic has recently appointed Rachel Sexton as a Partner in its UK Financial Services practice. She joins KPMG from Deloitte in Switzerland.   She is returning to the UK after working in Switzerland for four years.  During her time abroad, she worked with the largest Swiss banks as well as many private banks to assist with AML, sanctions and cross-border tax compliance and investigations.   These cross-border tax investigations were the precursors to the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (‘FATCA’).

“I am delighted to welcome Rachel to KPMG’s forensic practice. Her appointment further complements and expands our capability to deliver large-scale financial crime projects, with a particular focus on large financial services regulatory look back and remediation projects,” said Alex Plavsic, KPMG’s head of forensic.

Rachel has led teams working on some of the largest regulatory investigations conducted in the UK, US, Germany and Switzerland in recent years.   Her clients have included global retail and investment banks, private banks and insurance companies.  Through this experience, she provides valuable advice and insights to clients dealing with complex, time-critical regulatory enquiries and investigations.
