AML Assessment

An independent view of your AML/CTF program

An independent assessment of your AML/CTF program against the SAMA rules and the FATF Recommendations: governance, risk assessment, KYC, monitoring, reporting and training.

Regulators no longer ask whether you have an AML/CTF program. They ask whether it works. An independent assessment answers that question before an inspection does.

We test your program against the SAMA AML/CTF rules and the FATF Recommendations: your enterprise-wide risk assessment, policies, customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, suspicious activity reporting, training and governance. We sample real customer files and alerts, not just documents.

You receive findings rated by severity, a practical remediation roadmap, and a board-ready summary.
