Getting Your Casino Audit-Ready for AML | Is your Casino truly prepared for an AML audit?

Is your casino truly prepared for an AML audit?

Regulatory audits are no longer a matter of if, but when. Casinos operate in a high-risk environment where scrutiny from regulators continues to intensify. Being unprepared is no longer an option.

This practical and focused training is designed to equip your team with the tools, insights, and confidence needed to successfully navigate an AML audit before regulators come knocking.

Why This Training Matters

In the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing, casinos are subject to strict regulatory requirements under the AML/CFT State Ordinance, the CBA Handbook and Sanctions State Ordinance.

However, casino operations differ significantly from many other regulated sectors. High cash volumes, complex customer behaviors, junket activity, and gaming-specific risks require a tailored compliance approach.

Regulators expect:

  • A risk-based framework aligned with your operations
  • Documented and effective controls
  • Clear evidence that AML measures are implemented, monitored, and enforced

This means your compliance program must not only exist on paper but also work effectively in practice.

This training focuses on the real-world challenges casinos face in meeting AML/CFT obligations, supported by practical examples and case-based insights.
