Your AML/CTF program, centralised and audit-ready

A program written once and filed in a drawer is not a program. It is a document. ComplyIQ is where your AML/CTF program, risk assessments, board approvals and independent review records live, stay current, and stay connected to the controls actually running on the floor. When the reviewer or AUSTRAC asks “show me”, it is one click, not a scramble.

Why Most Programs Fail Their First Review

An AML/CTF program is a living obligation, not a one-off deliverable. But most venues treat it as a document, written once, often by a consultant, filed, and never touched again. The independent review finds the same gaps every time because the program and the day-to-day operation have drifted apart.

Five Recurring Findings

The program is a static document, written once and never updated as the venue, risks or rules change.

Risk assessments sit separately from the controls meant to address them, with no demonstrable control-to-risk alignment.

There is no version control. Nobody can prove which version of the program was in force on a given date.

Board approvals and meeting minutes are not stored with the program, so governance and oversight cannot be evidenced.

Independent review findings live in a separate report that never feeds back into the program or the controls.

One place. Always current. Audit-ready at any time.

Six capabilities that keep the program, the risk assessments and the governance evidence connected to the controls running every day.

Centralised Program Storage

One current version, group to venue

Your AML/CTF program lives in one place, with a single authoritative current version. Group-level programs cascade to each venue, with venue-specific variations captured against the group baseline.

Single source of truth for the current program

Group-to-venue inheritance with local variation

Accessible to the compliance officer and reviewers on demand
No more “which version is current?”

Customer Risk Assessment Documentation

Assessed, recorded, defensible

Money-laundering and terrorism-financing risk assessments are documented, dated and retained, covering customer, product, channel and jurisdiction risk, and linked to the program they support.

ML/TF risk assessment captured and version-dated

Customer, product, channel and jurisdiction factors

Linked to the program and the controls

Retained for the seven-year AUSTRAC period

Control-to-Risk Alignment

Every control maps to a risk

Each control in the program is mapped to the risk it addresses, so you can show a reviewer exactly how an identified risk is mitigated, and spot a risk with no control behind it before they do.

Controls mapped to identified risks

Gaps surfaced where a risk has no control

Demonstrable mitigation for every assessed risk

Live link to the controls running in ComplyIQ

Version Control and History

Prove what was in force, when

Every change to the program is versioned and dated, with a full history. You can show exactly which program was in force on any date, the question reviewers and regulators always ask.

Full version history with dates and authors

Point-in-time view of the program on any date

Change log for every revision

Review reminders before a version goes stale

Board Approvals and Governance

Oversight you can evidence

Board and senior-management approvals, meeting minutes and oversight decisions are stored with the program version they relate to, so governance is not just claimed, it is evidenced.

Board and senior-management approvals recorded against versions

Meeting minutes and oversight decisions retained

Governance visibility for the compliance officer

Approval trail ready for independent review

Independent Review Records

Findings tracked to closure

Independent review reports and findings are stored against the program, and remediation actions are tracked through to closure, so the next review starts from what the last one found, not from scratch.

Review reports stored with the program

Findings tracked to remediation and closure

Evidence the program improves review on review

Ready for the next independent reviewer

From a written program to a living one, in one loop.

The program isn’t a document you revisit once a year. In ComplyIQ it stays connected to the controls running every day and to the findings that come back from review.

1

Inherit

The group program cascades to each venue, with local variations captured.

2

Assess

Rolling totals and pattern windows recalculate for the patron across the group.

3

Approve

Board approval and minutes are recorded against the program version in force.

4

Operate

Controls run live in ComplyIQ, including payouts, monitoring and CDD, against the documented risks.

5

Review

Independent review findings are logged and tracked to closure, feeding the next version.

When the reviewer asks “show me,” it’s one click.

The hardest part of an independent review or an AUSTRAC enquiry is not having done the work. It is proving it, quickly, in one place. ComplyIQ keeps the evidence assembled as you go, not reconstructed under pressure.

Always Current

Review reminders and version control mean the program in the system is the program in force, never a stale copy nobody trusts.

Evidence in One Place

Program, risk assessments, approvals, minutes and review findings sit together, not scattered across email, drives and binders.

Group-to-Venue Inheritance

Set the program once at group level and cascade it, so every venue runs from the same baseline with its variations documented.

Point-in-Time Proof

Show exactly which program, which risk assessment and which approvals were in force on any given date, the question that ends most reviews.

The program that governs the other six modules.

Risk Assessments and Program is the governance layer of the platform. The risks you document here define the controls that run in payouts, monitoring and CDD, and the evidence those modules generate flows back here for review.

Gaming & Cash Controls

The payout controls you operate are defined and governed in the program.

Transaction Monitoring

Monitoring rules map back to the risks documented here.

CDD & KYC

Customer risk assessment methodology lives in the program.

Audit Trail & Records

Every program change and approval is written to the audit trail.

Common questions on program management.

Does ComplyIQ write my AML/CTF program for me?

No. ComplyIQ is where your AML/CTF program lives once it is built: kept current, version-controlled, linked to the controls running in your venue and ready to produce when a reviewer asks.

 

Can it prove which program was in force on a past date?

Yes. Full version history with dates means you can produce a point-in-time view of the program, risk assessment and approvals for any date, exactly what reviewers and AUSTRAC ask for.

How does it handle a group with multiple venues?

Set the program at group level and cascade it to every venue, with venue-specific variations captured against the group baseline. One program, consistently applied, with local context preserved.

What happens to our independent review findings?

They are stored against the program and tracked to closure as remediation actions, so the next review starts from what the last one found, and you can show the program improving over time.

How do controls stay aligned to our risks?

Every control is mapped to the risk it addresses, and the controls running in ComplyIQ, including payouts, monitoring and CDD, link back to that mapping, so a risk without a control is visible immediately.

Where do board approvals and minutes go?

They are recorded against the program version they relate to, so governance and senior-management oversight are evidenced, not just asserted, when a reviewer asks.
