Compliance
Policy Drafting & Implementation
Regulator-ready policies, adopted and put to work
What this covers
The scope, in plain terms
Registration conditions require a defined set of board-approved policies. We draft them to your actual entity category and business model — not a template — then take them through board adoption, staff training and the evidence trail that shows they are being followed.
Who needs it: Entities preparing an IFSCA application, entities responding to an inspection observation, and any entity whose policies were adopted from a template and never fitted to the business.
Applicable law
IFSCA AML/CFT & KYC Guidelines
Requires a documented, board-approved AML programme with a designated officer.
Official sourceCategory-specific IFSCA regulations

Common questions
Before you enquire
Will these policies pass an IFSCA inspection?
They are drafted against the regulations applicable to your category and, importantly, are backed by implementation evidence — which is where template policies usually fail.
Do you review policies we already have?
Yes. A gap review against your registration conditions is often the faster and cheaper route.
