Pre-Inspection Meeting Support

Be fully prepared if the Authority chooses to inspect your designated business.

Receiving a meeting request from the IOMFSA can be daunting. Most firms feel that familiar sinking feeling:

“Do we have everything they’ll ask for?”
“What if we’ve missed something?”
“How do we explain our decisions confidently?”

Our Pre-Meeting Support is designed to prepare you with confidence, remove any fear and help you avoid any surprises.

We take a deeper look at your business and prepare you for what the regulator will want to see, understand and question.

What’s Included

• Review of the meeting request
• Assessment of your AML/CFT documentation:
  • Business Risk Assessment
  • AML/CFT Manual
  • Technology Risk Assessment
  • CMP
  • Training records
• Identification of gaps and practical fixes
• Guidance on what the Authority typically asks
• Help preparing clear explanations of your decisions
• A prep session to build confidence
• A written “inspection-ready” summary pack

Perfect For

• DNFBPs who have received a meeting request from the Authority
• Firms concerned about the clarity of their BRA or Manual
• Small teams with limited AML/CFT expertise
• Anyone wanting reassurance before speaking to the Authority

VIP Support (Monthly)

Ongoing AML/CFT confidence for designated businesses.

For firms, the biggest challenge isn’t usually the annual return or the BRA update – it’s the day-to-day uncertainties:

• “Is this client too high-risk?”

• “Is this red flag something I should report?”
• “How do I document this decision properly?”
• “What if the Authority asks about this later?”

VIP Support gives you a compliance expert on hand whenever you need one, without the cost of a full-time role or large consultancy retainer.

What’s Included

• Email and phone support for AML/CFT questions
• Guidance on onboarding higher-risk clients
• Help documenting decisions appropriately
• Light-touch document reviews
• Access to practical, proportionate advice
• Priority booking for additional services
