Uncover Hidden Gaps: Independent AML/CFT Testing for Enhanced Compliance
Maintaining a robust Anti-Money Laundering/Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) program is critical for all businesses. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) estimates that deficiencies in AML/CFT controls contribute to the flow of illicit funds globally. Independent testing is an essential safeguard to ensure your program's effectiveness, especially in high-risk regions identified by FATF due to weak regulatory frameworks or vulnerabilities exploited by criminals.
At Consilium Advisory, we offer comprehensive independent AML/CFT testing services designed to objectively assess your program's strengths and weaknesses, identify areas for improvement, and ensure ongoing regulatory compliance.
