Is Your AML Remediation Programme Set Up to Succeed?
A practical self-assessment for MLROs and remediation programme leads.
For MLROs, remediation programme leads and Steering Committees.
This guide helps MLROs, remediation leads and Steering Committees test whether a remediation programme is set up to deliver under regulatory scrutiny. Inside you will find a section-by-section self-assessment covering governance, quality, management information, Board reporting and resource planning.
Inside you will find
- Governance, ownership and risk prioritisation
- Quality assurance and management information
- Board and Steering Committee reporting
- Root cause analysis and resource planning
Remediation programmes are demanding undertakings. They consume resources, attract Board attention and operate under regulatory scrutiny. The strongest programmes are not always the largest.
Work through the sections in this self-assessment. A single missing tick is rarely fatal. A pattern of missing ticks across governance, reporting and quality usually is.
Structured to be useful, not to impress.
