AML audit and assurance reviews
The FCA requires that regulated firms must carry out a regular assessment of the adequacy of the AML systems and controls that they have in place to ensure that these systems and controls continue to be effective in relation to the firm’s nature, scale and complexity.
As part of our Assurance/Independent Review services, we offer our clients an independent and comprehensive AML audit that gives the firm and its senior management confidence that the firm’s AML systems and controls are fit for purpose.
Our AML audits provide assurance for the following:
- AML governance
- firm-wide AML risk assessment
- customer risk assessment
- AML policies
- AML and client onboarding procedures
- technology used to manage AML risk and customer onboarding
- ongoing monitoring
- transaction monitoring and system configuration
- suspicious activity reporting
- sanctions and EDD screening
- client file reviews
- AML training
- internal reporting.
