ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
Creed Financial Crimes Compliance Firm, LLC (“Creed,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is fully committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability, disability, or the technology used to access it. We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our website to ensure that it is usable, inclusive, and compliant with applicable accessibility standards.
1. Our Commitment to Accessibility
At Creed, we recognize the importance of digital accessibility for individuals with visual, auditory, motor, cognitive, and other disabilities. We believe that everyone should have equal access to information, resources, and services provided through our website.
We aim to comply with:
.
- Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA;
- Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973;
- Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title III standards for accessible design;
- Maryland Information Technology Nonvisual Access Standards, where applicable.
Our goal is to meet or exceed these standards to ensure digital equity for all users.
2. Accessibility Features of Our Website
The Creed Financial Crimes Compliance Firm website incorporates a range of accessibility features, including but not limited to:
- Semantic HTML structure and appropriate ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) roles
- Keyboard navigation compatibility
- Text alternatives for all non-text content (e.g., alt tags for images, captions for videos)
- Sufficient color contrast for readability by users with low vision or color blindness
- Resizable text without loss of content or functionality
- Skip-to-content links and logical tab order for screen readers
- Descriptive headings, links, and labels
- Avoidance of content that flashes or flickers, which can trigger seizures
We regularly audit these features to ensure they continue functioning correctly.
3. Ongoing Efforts for Improvement
Creed is actively reviewing and testing our digital properties to identify and address potential accessibility barriers. Our efforts include:
- Conducting manual and automated audits using industry-standard tools (e.g., Axe, WAVE, Lighthouse)
- Engaging with accessibility consultants and users with disabilities
- Reviewing new content before publication for accessibility compliance
- Providing ongoing training for our web development and content teams
- Implementing a feedback-driven improvement cycle to address real user experiences
4. Third-Party Content and Tools
While we strive to ensure accessibility on all areas of our website, we may include content or tools that are provided by third-party platforms or embedded services (e.g., maps, scheduling software, video players, live chat). These third parties may not fully conform to the same accessibility standards as our core site.
We carefully select third-party tools and services with accessibility in mind and encourage our providers to align with WCAG standards.
5. Accessibility Testing & Verification
We use a combination of:
- Automated tools (such as Axe and Lighthouse)
- Screen reader testing (including NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver)

We welcome voluntary audits or expert recommendations and take all suggestions seriously.
