Financial audit of anti-money laundering applications
Independent review of how KYC, monitoring, and escalation rules actually operate across your Thai and cross-border business lines.
What we examine
Where AML applications meet the ledger
We test the financial trail behind onboarding decisions, alert handling, and board reporting — not slide decks about policy intent.
AML Application Audit
Our flagship engagement — a full financial audit of how anti-money laundering applications operate across onboarding, monitoring, escalation, and board reporting.
KYC File & Beneficial Ownership Review
Targeted sampling of customer due diligence files to test identification, verification, and beneficial-ownership refresh discipline.
Transaction Monitoring Sample Audit
Independent testing of alert queues, investigator notes, and escalation decisions against the money movements that triggered them.
Engagement rhythm
From sample selection to board-ready findings
Each audit begins with the products you actually sell, the corridors you fund, and the exceptions your teams already know about. We map controls to transactions, interview owners, and leave you with ranked remediation — not a generic checklist.
Scope the risk surface
Products, geographies, customer types, and payment rails that drive your AML exposure.
Sample the financial evidence
Files, alert queues, SAR narratives, and ledger paths that prove or weaken each control.
Report what must change
Findings ranked by regulatory and financial consequence, with owners and timelines.
From the field
What clients notice after fieldwork
“They caught that our high-risk onboarding path skipped beneficial-ownership refresh when ownership stakes shifted mid-year — a gap our prior internal review never sampled.”
“The report was dense in places, and we needed an extra workshop to assign owners, but the transaction samples left little room for debate with the board.”
