Our programs are built on a Risk Based
Approach (RBA) and involve an interdependent array of policies and procedures, supported by further development and relevant training, the codependency of which is absolutely crucial.
Based on detailed knowledge of your business, we are able to apply legislative standards and unwritten expectations of regulators and partners, tailoring our services to the specific needs and history of your company and bringing you the effective custom solution you need.
Development of AML Policies and Procedures
Policies and procedures are the cornerstones of a strong and successful AML program that aims to address the company’s compliance risks and the known and expected legislation, regulation and regulatory guidance. As part of your compliance program, we will build the policies and procedures, job aids and forms that make sense for your business based on your risk assessment.
Development of Risk Matrix and Risk Asssement
If you are a small business or just starting out, our risk assessment will provide a Risk Based Approach (RBA), document that measures and outlines what you’re doing well and where you can strengthen your compliance efforts. This will allow you to confidently build your overall compliance program, which is one of our most sought-after services.
Update of AML Programme
Assessments prove to you, your stakeholders, regulators and your financial services partners that your AML program is meeting expectations and managing risk. Our assessments consider not only prevailing and applicable legislation and guidance, but also peer practices, observed expectations of regulators through examinations, and of financial services partners through interactions and discussions. Our assessment practice is led by CPAs, who oversee the design and implementation according to the regulator's specifications and upper-range methodologies. Our assessments are designed to be risk-sensitive, to provide a road-map to remediation, and to make sure there are no surprises when regulators come to visit.

ACAMS Partners provides this service and can help you to assess the program effectiveness in addressing your entity's risks and obligations in all relevant jurisdictions.
