Systems Review

An independent review of your AML systems

AML policies and procedures can look comprehensive on paper but still contain gaps when applied in practice.

Our Systems Review provides an independent assessment of your firm's AML arrangements and identifies practical improvements that should be considered.

The review can also assist firms in determining whether they are meeting the requirements under Regulation 21 of the Money Laundering Regulations.

What You Receive Following Your Review

Business people in office

Following the review, we provide a written report identifying: areas where existing arrangements appear appropriate; weaknesses or inconsistencies requiring attention; recommended improvements; priorities for action; and practical points for management consideration.

The purpose is not simply to identify deficiencies. It is to help the firm strengthen its AML arrangements and demonstrate that compliance is being actively reviewed.

From strategy to execution, every step we take is designed to help your business grow stronger.
