The AML/CFT HealthCheck evaluates over 70+ compliance hotspots within five categories of -

  • Governance

  • Client Due Diligence

  • Ongoing Monitoring

  • Record Keeping

  • Management Reporting

The evaluation report will provide:

  • An overall compliance risk score;

  • A risk score and rating for each primary Division;

  • A risk rating for individual elements within each Division;

  • Your qualifications to support each rating;

  • Prompts for strengthening any identified weaknesses.

Use cases of an AML HealthCheck:

  • Evidencing governance controls are in place;

  • Providing operational data to your auditor;

  • Confirming to an AML Supervisor controls in place to manage risks;

  • Informing senior managers and executives on internal issues;

  • Assuring third party stakeholders that AML/CFT compliance is adequately managed;

  • Carrying out an annual internal review;

  • Supporting an AML/CFT compliance program.

Where your compliance status is shown to have weaknesses, your report includes information on how your business can strengthen and improve policies, procedures and controls. You can use the case management feature to track and remediate any issues requiring attention. When matters have been remediated, update the HealthCheck for an improved compliance rating.

Your subscription to the AML/CFT HealthCheck tool provides access for 12-months. During that time your business can run an AML/CFT compliance evaluation at anytime.
