For many institutions, the real value lies not in the submission – but in what the exercise revealed.
The questionnaire is not random. It reflects supervisory focus areas.
As you finalise your filing, consider:
• Did your answers rely on policy statements rather than demonstrated evidence?
• Were there areas where implementation lagged behind documentation?
• Did board oversight, sanctions screening or monitoring controls feel sufficiently robust?
• Were any responses drafted cautiously due to uncertainty in the framework?
These signals matter.
Today’s submission should shape next year’s compliance roadmap.
If, through this process, you identified gaps or structural weaknesses in your AML/CFT governance, risk assessment methodology, screening calibration, or monitoring systems – remediation should begin before the next supervisory cycle.
At Acrion, we support reporting entities with:
• Independent gap assessments
• Framework strengthening and recalibration
• Governance and board-level advisory
• Regulatory readiness support
Regulators do not only assess what is written – they assess how it operates.
If you would like to strengthen your framework following this year’s questionnaire, we would be pleased to connect, reach out to us at info@acrioncompliance.com.
