ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING HEALTH CHECK

What is the Anti-Money Laundering Health Check?

The Anti-Money Laundering Health Check solution is an online platform dedicated to controls assurance and provides a structured framework for conducting independent reviews to assess the design and operational effectiveness of anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing programmes.

The Anti-Money Laundering Health Check platform has been designed to leverage best practices in risk management controls assurance and was built based on a logical hierarchy that links rules and obligations, with policies, risks and controls. This provides a means of assessing compliance against obligations, prioritising responses, providing auditor comments and management responses as well as assigning actions and attaching documentary evidence to support audit findings.

After the assessment has been completed for each compliance obligation users can create executive summary reports directly from the platform, highlighting the key observations, findings and recommendations as well as actions, issues and risks identified during the review process.

The Anti-Money Laundering Health Check platform also contains rich data analytics that provide actionable business intelligence including:

  • Real-time operational dashboards for tracking open and outstanding actions, issues and risks.
  • Interactive reports which can slice and dice audit data in many ways including, drilling into particular areas of interest.
  • Benchmarking audit outcomes across different timeframes, divisions and countries

It can even summarise on a single page the compliance status across hundreds of compliance obligations.

Client testimonials

TradeMax switched from spreadsheets to software, for AML / CTF Risk Assessments. This is a critical function and Arctic Intelligence helped us to meet our obligations efficiently and effectively. Now that we are aware of Arctic Intelligence, why would anyone use spreadsheets to conduct AML / CTF Risk Assessments?

Kevin Chu, Compliance Manager, TradeMax Australia

I’ve established ML/TF Risk Assessments and Programs for a number of companies and have come to regard AML Accelerate as the ‘Gold Standard’. Given the entry point pricing, intuitive process and constant evolution aligned to such a dynamic regulatory landscape, I would thoroughly recommend the platform for start-ups and enterprise groups alike. The importance of using such high quality tools in supporting financial crimes risk management cannot be overstated.

Stu Hallows, CRO, Paytron

Risk Management is a priority at Bendix and we understand the first step towards managing risk is having an efficient Risk Assessment program that identifies and assesses inherent risks posed by the environment in which the company operates and the products it deals in. We were on the search for a program that could support us in identifying risks under various categories, points towards risk control mechanisms, and documents the process for regulators. ‘AML Accelerate’ fitted the bill and we are glad we chose it for the purpose. In our opinion, the idea of software assisted Risk Assessment and Documentation is a revolutionary concept brought to fruition by Arctic Intelligence.

Chief Compliance Officer, Bendix Foreign Exchange and Payment Solutions

Very impressed with the technology and how easy it was to navigate.  I did not have any prior training with the platform, however it only took a couple of pages to understand how it works.

Craigs Investment Partners

If you think compliance is expensive, try non-compliance. Paying for the right tools, systems and resources always pays off!

Legal & Compliance Officer, Unity Bank

Following a full compliance review, we selected the Arctic Intelligence AML Accelerate platform to assist us with our AML compliance. We needed an efficient and user-friendly way to keep on top of our in-house procedures, risk assessments and the ever-evolving regulatory responsibilities.
