Why You Need an AML Auditor in New Zealand

If you’re a reporting entity under New Zealand’s AML/CFT Act, you already know:

  • You must have an AML programme
  • You must assess and manage risk
  • And every two years, you need an independent AML audit
  • That’s where we come in.

We assess your AML framework with fresh eyes, checking your processes, controls, training, and reporting practices. Then we provide a clear, regulator-ready report that shows what’s working, what needs attention, and how to fix it.

If you’re required to comply with AML laws, you’re required to have an audit.
And we make that audit as efficient and insightful as possible.

  3. Charge Flat, Transparent Fees
     No unexpected invoices. Just clear pricing and clear results.
  4. Speak Human, Not Just Legal
     We turn complex obligations into plain-English insights that help you take the right steps forward.

FAQ: AML Auditor Services

Every reporting entity under the AML/CFT Act must complete an independent AML audit every two years, or more frequently if required by your supervisor.

Yes. In fact, the law requires that your AML auditor must be independent from whoever built or helped implement your AML/CFT programme. That’s us – we don’t offer AML consulting, only audit.

Most audits take 2–3 weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your operation. We’ll confirm timelines when we scope the job – no surprises.
