What Is an AML Independent Review for Hong Kong TCSPs?

A practical explanation of AML independent review for Hong Kong TCSP licensees.

An AML independent review assesses whether a TCSP licensee has adequate AML/CFT policies, procedures and controls, and whether those controls are implemented in practice.

Why this matters

AML/CFT obligations are operational as well as documentary. A TCSP should be able to show not only that it has a policy, but also that relevant records, files and staff practices support the policy in practice.

Practical points for TCSPs

  • Keep customer identification and verification records complete and accessible.
  • Document risk ratings and approvals, especially for higher-risk customers.
  • Maintain screening, ongoing monitoring and training records.
  • Review policies and forms when regulations, business scope or customer profile changes.
