What to expect

A proportionate audit with professional judgement at its centre.

Independent assessment

A structured review focused on Regulation 21 adequacy and the evidence your firm can provide.

Human-reviewed conclusions

Technology supports analysis; an experienced human reviewer validates, challenges and signs off the findings.

Data-minimised by design

The website administers the audit but does not receive substantive evidence. Your encrypted archive is handled separately in a controlled working environment.

The audit process

Clear from purchase to secure report delivery.

A deliberately simple journey, with administrative automation only where it saves time.

  1. 01

    Purchase and onboard

    Confirm firm and audit contact details, basic scope and your acknowledgement of the evidence requirements.

  2. 02

    Submit audit evidence

    Organise relevant framework and governance material into one encrypted ZIP archive, then email it to luke@hsconsultants.info. Supply the password separately through an agreed channel.

    Data minimisation: Please do not provide live client identity documents, unnecessary personal information, privileged material or other client-confidential information unless specifically requested. Anonymise documents where reasonably possible.

  3. 03

    Assessment and challenge

    Your evidence is reviewed against the agreed audit scope. Analytical technology helps identify potential gaps and strengths; professional review determines materiality, proportionality and final conclusions.

  4. 04

    Report and priorities

    Receive an executive summary, structured findings, strengths, weaknesses, prioritised recommendations, maturity assessment and practical action plan. The encrypted report is emailed, with its password provided separately.

What we review

Your AML framework—not unnecessary client data.

The core audit considers organisational evidence including your firm-wide risk assessment, policies, controls and procedures, governance, training, supervision and quality assurance arrangements.
