AML/CFT Audit
The Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009 (AML/CFT Act) require all reporting entities to have a Risk Assessment and AML/CFT Programme independently audited every two years.
Nexia New Zealand provides both independent audits and pre-audit reviews to reporting entities captured under the AML/CFT Act legislation. Our reviews will look at your risk assessment and compliance programme from a different perspective to your management team and those charged with administering the risk assessment and AML/CFT programme.
