Governance

AML/CTF Program
Wizard & Management

Build your firm's AML/CTF program with a guided wizard. Version-controlled with approval workflows, AMLCO appointment records, and independent review tracking — so you always have the current authorised version on file.

Overview

How It Works

Every reporting entity must have an AML/CTF program. Sentine's program wizard guides your firm through building Part A (risk, governance, controls) and Part B (CDD/KYC procedures, verification procedures, ongoing CDD procedures) of your program — tailored to your specific vertical and designated services.

Program documents are version-controlled with a full change log. Each version records what changed, why, and who approved it. The current authorised version is always clearly identified, and superseded versions are retained for audit purposes.

The governance module tracks AMLCO appointment and responsibilities, program approval records, training evidence, and the 3-yearly independent review cycle. Sentine calculates your next review due date and provides reminders to firm administrators.

Regulatory Context

AML/CTF Program Requirements

The reformed AML/CTF Act requires reporting entities to have an AML/CTF program that addresses their specific ML/TF risks. Programs must be independently reviewed at least once every 3 years. Sentine helps firms build, maintain, and version their programs with complete governance records — including AMLCO appointment, approval workflows, and review tracking.

  • AML/CTF programs: Part A (governance) + Part B (procedures)
  • Independent review required at least every 3 years
  • AMLCO appointment and responsibilities must be documented
  • Program must be updated when risks or circumstances change
