Decades of regulatory experience. Now working for you.

Ronald McKave brings 23 years of federal government service to ARC Advisory Group, retiring from the Government of Canada in 2024.

Ronald spent approximately a decade as a Regional Compliance Officer at FINTRAC, where he conducted compliance examinations of reporting entities across a wide range of regulated sectors. In that role, he assessed the effectiveness of compliance programs, identified deficiencies, and worked directly with reporting entities on their obligations under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act.

Prior to FINTRAC, Ronald spent approximately 13 years with the Canada Revenue Agency in an investigations capacity, developing deep expertise in financial crime and regulatory enforcement.

Ron's experience on both the investigative and supervisory sides of federal compliance gives him a distinctive perspective on what effective AML programs look like in practice — and where they most often fall short.
