We audit only those entities designated as non-financial businesses and professions. This includes lawyers, accountants, bookkeepers, real estate and high value dealers, the ‘phase two’ entities captured by the AML/CFT Act and travel throughout New Zealand.
As a reporting entity you should already have in place an AML/CFT Risk Assessment and Compliance Programme. You will also be aware of the need to have your compliance with the Act independently audited at least every two years, from the date your activities were first captured, or as otherwise required by the Department of Internal Affairs.
The date your organisation was captured could coincide with many other organisations so we recommend you think about booking your audit early to avoid the pressure points of 1st January, 1st July, 1st August and 1st October.
These are the dates up to which the audit must review your AML/CFT programme. The audit work should be completed (i.e. the auditor should do their review/testing) by this date.
Lower your regulatory risk with AML experts
Under Section 59(2) of the AML/CFT Act a reporting entity must ensure that its risk assessment and AML/CFT programme are audited every 2 years and under Section 59B that audit must be carried out by an independent person. The reporting entity must provide a copy of any audit to the AML/CFT Supervisor upon request.
