Tips and advice for your AML/CFT audit

19 JAN 2023

Most Phase 2 reporting entities (lawyers, accountants, and real estate agents) audits are due in 2023 so waiting to the last minute may result in a scramble to find a competent auditor who is free to complete your audit. To reduce the stress (and a possible fine) we strongly recommend you book in now.

Tips and advice for your AML/CFT audit

Remember you must have your audit completed before your three-year due date. There are other advantages to booking in early that you may not have thought of: 

  • You avoid the last-minute rush when auditors are swamped with other audits and you can establish a permanent audit cycle that sits outside of the busy period for auditors. 
  • Have peace of mind knowing any non-compliance will be resolved sooner rather than later. 
  • An audit completed before the three-year point is still valid and demonstrates to your supervisor that you are pro-active. 

And while we have your attention, here are some great reasons to choose Strategi as your AML/CFT audit partner:
