Three years between audits is a long time, and businesses can fall behind on regulatory changes, new products, or evolving technologies and threats. Our AML/CFT ‘Quick Check’ service acts as a mid-term health check, ensuring your business remains on track with the latest AML/CFT regulations.

Benefit from Strategi’s expert oversight and practical compliance solutions. Our experienced team conducts meticulous ‘mini audits’, offering actionable recommendations to strengthen your AML/CFT practices. With efficient remote processes and timely results, ensure your business stays ahead of compliance challenges. 

We’ve developed a comprehensive manual for each sector explaining how to create and document a robust AML/CFT programme. This manual, developed by our sister company Strategi Institute, includes guidance notes, checklists templates and example solutions, along with appendices explaining what is and is not considered risky practice.

This manual will not just help with your programme – it will provide you with the total solution you need to meet all your AML/CFT obligations.

This AML/CFT manual is provided by Strategi Institute in either hard copy or electronic format and includes:

• A very detailed guidance note explaining what your obligations are and providing you with tips and instructions on what you are required to do and how to do it.
• A checklist for completing and assessing your risk assessment.
• A checklist for completing your AML / CFT programme.
• A sample template of a risk assessment for a simple reporting entity that is deemed to be ‘low risk’.
• A sample template of an AML / CFT programme for a simple reporting entity that is deemed to be ‘low risk’.
• A worksheet to use when completing your risk assessment.
• Appendices that provide the detailed background information that you need to help you understand what risks your business might face and the implications of those.
• Information on how to undertake customer due diligence (CDD) and identity verification.
• What is involved in the compulsory AML / CFT audit (every three years, or at any other time your AML / CFT supervisor requires), things you need to consider before you appoint an auditor to undertake your risk assessment and programme audit, and suggestions on who to appoint.

Many of our clients have large numbers of clients onboarded each year. For those clients, customer due diligence (CDD) can be costly and time-consuming.

To help ease the burden, Strategi has partnered with some of the best specialist AML software providers to provide clients options for a fast, efficient software solution.
