Book consultationFrequently asked questions about AML Inspection Readiness
What is AIRI's AML Inspection Readiness review?
A focused, one-week AML quality control review and assessment for payment institutions, electronic money institutions (EMIs) and fintechs. AIRI's senior AML experts examine governance, KYC/CDD, transaction monitoring, screening, investigations and documentation to identify issues that should be addressed before a supervisory inspection.
Who is the review designed for?
The review is scoped for payment institutions, EMIs, fintechs, cross-border payment providers and other non-bank regulated entities that need rapid, actionable AML insight before an inspection or supervisory engagement. It is not designed for large universal banks with complex group-wide programmes that require longer discovery and assurance cycles.
What does the one-week delivery include?
Within five business days AIRI delivers a concise assessment report with a prioritised issue log, evidence observations, practical remediation suggestions and a short management summary suitable for MLROs, compliance leads and boards. The output is designed to be used immediately.
How does this differ from a full AML transformation engagement?
The readiness review is diagnostic and tactical: it identifies what needs attention now. A full AML transformation engagement covers design, implementation and operational change over a longer period. Many clients use the readiness review to inform a broader programme or to confirm they are inspection-ready.
