An AML/CFT audit (NZ) systematically checks the functions and outcomes of your AML/CFT programme. It involves reviewing records linked to your AML risk assessment and programme and examining operational processes. At the end of the audit, your business will understand the weaknesses and strengths of its AML/CFT policy, procedures and controls.
The final audit report will provide clear guidance on your current compliance status and assist in remedying any identified deficiencies.
Upon request from an AML supervisor, you must provide a copy of any audit report. Your AML supervisor will examine the quality of the audit to ensure it meets their expectations. To find out more about expectations from AML Supervisors, access the AML/CFT audit guideline here:
The expertise of an auditor is critical to a successful AML audit NZ. An experienced and qualified AML auditor will bring higher quality, more efficiency, and less disruption to your business. If your auditor has experience within your industry, it will typically result in providing better value-added auditing services. The lead auditor must meet the conditions provided by AML supervisors.
The cost of an AML audit NZ will reflect the time the auditor is required to commit. Therefore if the auditor utilises data analytics with technology, you should expect reduced fees. Further, data analytics provides better insight into your business operations. This means your business will have a better future for avoiding compliance breaches.
Before engaging an auditor, you should ask to receive a copy of their audit plan. An audit plan will state the auditor’s overall strategy and provide detailed steps for conducting the audit. Does the audit plan give a timeline and invite feedback on audit findings? How does the auditor ensure the security and confidentiality of your business records? Does the audit plan detail how the audit process meets the expectations of AML supervisors?
An AML auditor’s actual value extends beyond the audit itself. Will the auditor remain available to guide your business in implementing recommendations and respond to any questions arising? Once changes are implemented, does the audit fee include a quality assurance review to ensure the updates are adequate and meet regulatory expectations? Can the auditor provide your business with access to compliance tools that result in your business reducing costs?
