Under the BVI AML\/CFT Code of Practice, regulated entities must maintain an independent audit function to test their AML\/CFT systems and controls. The frequency depends on the firm\u2019s risk profile, but it is a critical component of statutory compliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is &#8220;Applied Compliance&#8221;?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applied compliance is the practice of taking a regulatory principle (such as &#8220;Enhanced Due Diligence&#8221;) and creating a specific, step-by-step workflow that a staff member can follow to satisfy that requirement. It moves compliance from a concept to a measurable business process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does Gold Leaf help with audit gaps?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Toolbox sessions teach practitioners how to perform internal &#8220;gap analyses.&#8221; By identifying where a firm falls short <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> the independent auditor arrives, we help teams remediate issues and present a stronger, more compliant posture to the BVI FSC.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stop Guessing.
