Independent AML Controls Review: Requirements for Cayman fund vehicles and management companies
What is an Independent AML Review?
The AML review is an independent review of the entity’s AML policy and procedures and the person(s) conducting the AML review must not have been involved in the performance of any of the processes or controls which are being reviewed. The frequency of this AML review must be commensurate with the entity’s nature, size, complexity, and risks identified during the risk assessment process.
While the results of the AML review are not required to be filed with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA), it is something that CIMA may expect to see evidence of as part of their supervisory inspection process.
