AML & Compliance Health Check for DIFC, Mainland and Mauritius
Independent testing of your compliance framework, so it withstands regulatory and banking scrutiny.
We assess how your controls work in practice, not just on paper. We review governance structures, client onboarding files, AML decision-making and sanctions screening to find weaknesses before regulators do.
AML weaknesses drive the most serious regulatory actions.
Having your policies, frameworks and documentation tested before a regulator looks at them protects your firm from enforcement action, from being flagged by your bank, and from unexpected fines.
Focused on the controls regulators examine most closely
Governance and alignment
Assessment of governance, AML controls and alignment with regulatory requirements.
Control testing
Testing of CDD, EDD, sanctions screening and transaction monitoring.

Sanctions results

Our approach
Inspect Like a Regulator
We review your compliance framework through the same lens regulators and banks apply.
Test What Happens in Practice
We examine real client files, AML decisions and monitoring, not just the policies that describe them.
Expose Risk & Prepare You
We turn the findings into clear remediation steps and get you ready for inspection.
