Integrated approach

From regulatory requirement to operating evidence.

Compliance is strongest when governance, assessment, controls, training and review operate as one system.

1. Understand the institution

Confirm the Schedule 1 category, services, clients, delivery channels, geography, ownership structure and applicable supervisory environment.

2. Assess exposure

Evaluate ML, TF and PF exposure across customer, product, service, transaction, geographic and delivery-channel factors.

3. Design the framework

Align governance, RMCP provisions, due-diligence procedures, risk rules, reporting, escalation and record management.

4. Implement and train

Embed usable workflows, approvals, control evidence and role-appropriate training across the institution.

5. Monitor and improve

Review control effectiveness, residual risk, regulatory change, exceptions and annual assessment requirements.
