Introduction

Under the Proceeds of Crime (Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing) Regulations 2008 (POCR), an AML/ATF Regulated Financial Institution must ensure an independent AML/ATF audit is conducted annually. The audit must be conducted by a qualified independent third party or internally by persons independent of any other function and independent of the lines of business over which the function has audit responsibilities and financial operations.

The independent audit function must provide and document an independent and objective evaluation of the reliability, integrity and completeness of the design effectiveness of the AML/ATF framework, including testing the internal controls on an annual basis.
