Audit Process

A clear sequence keeps AML audit fieldwork predictable for your compliance and operations teams.

Professionals collaborating in a meeting
1

Scoping call

We confirm licence type, prior review findings, systems used for screening and monitoring, and whether records can leave the building. You leave with a draft document request list.

2

Population and sample design

Your team extracts customer and alert populations. We agree sample sizes by risk band so testing time is spent where AML exposure concentrates.

3

Fieldwork

File testing, control walkthroughs, and staff interviews. We work in agreed daily windows so settlement and client onboarding are not frozen.

4

Draft findings

You see draft points while memories of interviews are fresh. Factual corrections are welcome; disagreements on severity are recorded as management comments.

5

Final report

The issued report maps each finding to the AML process step, sample evidence, and a practical remediation direction — without prescribing a vendor.

What you prepare

  • Named engagement contact with authority to pull records
  • Access to CDD archives and alert disposition notes
  • Current AML policy set and enterprise risk assessment
  • Quiet space for interview days if we are on-site in Central or at your branch
