Your Questions Answered
Why do firms need independent reviews?
Because frameworks drift. Independent assessment finds the gaps daily operations normalise, gives boards genuine assurance, and fixes issues before supervisors find them expensively.
How often should audits be conducted?
Risk-based, but a sensible rhythm is an annual review of core compliance and AML arrangements, with deeper reviews after significant change, growth, or findings.
What does an AML audit cover?
Risk assessment quality, policies against practice, due diligence files, monitoring calibration, reporting arrangements, training, and governance oversight, tested through sampling rather than document review alone.
Are your reviews truly independent?
Yes. Assurance work is delivered separately from any framework we helped build, with findings reported candidly to management and boards regardless of comfort.
What happens after the review?
You receive prioritised, practical findings with clear remediation guidance, and we can support the remediation itself, tracked to closure so improvement actually happens.
