AML Internal Audit: Compliance Expectations and Best Practices
A practical walkthrough of what an Independent AML Audit actually involves—beyond the checklists. This session breaks down real findings, real expectations, and what firms must do to evidence independence.
This webinar delivers a clear, practical explanation of how an Independent AML Audit works in practice. We explore the most common breach findings, how regulators assess independence, and what firms should document to demonstrate effective oversight.
The session addresses real-world questions, including whether outsourced compliance providers can sign off on high-risk clients, how boards should record their decisions, and what auditors typically request during reviews. Participants also receive a sample audit documentation request list and a helpful audit-lifecycle slide to support internal preparation.
If you want actionable insights to strengthen your next audit cycle, this session is well worth watching.
