As AMLC- and PAGCOR-accredited trainers, the Firm's practitioners regularly design and deliver AML/CFT/PF training programs for covered persons, regulators, law enforcement agencies, and the academe — reinforcing the same FATF-aligned standards applied in the Firm's advisory and audit engagements.
The Firm has provided advisory, consultancy, independent audit, and training services to a wide range of institutions across regulated sectors:
Government and Regulatory Institutions
Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA)
Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport Authority (APECO)
Financial Institutions and Covered Persons
Banks and quasi-banks
Money service businesses and remittance companies
Foreign exchange dealers
Payment system operators and fintech firms
Securities brokers and investment houses
Real estate developers and brokers
Other Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs)
Gaming, Digital Entertainment & Cross-Border Platforms
The Firm maintains a dedicated gaming and digital-platform practice, reflecting the Lead Counsel's standing as a PAGCOR-Accredited Trainer for the casino sector. This practice covers casinos and licensed gaming operators, as well as AML/CFT/PF compliance advisory and independent audit work for online and sweepstakes-style gaming platforms, payments processors, and fintech operators serving cross-border markets worldwide — engagements that require fluency in both FATF-based risk methodology and destination-market frameworks (for example, the US Bank Secrecy Act and state-level gaming-law considerations for US-facing platforms).
The Firm has also collaborated with international organizations, development agencies, and regulatory partners in designing training programs and financial crime prevention initiatives.
AML Consulting Ph adopts a practical, regulator-aligned, risk-based approach in every engagement, integrating:
Legal expertise — ensuring strict compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements.
Regulatory insight — grounded in direct familiarity with AMLC, BSP, SEC, PAGCOR, and CEZA supervisory expectations, as well as FATF-aligned regulatory expectations in other jurisdictions (for example, the US Bank Secrecy Act and FinCEN framework) for cross-border engagements.
Operational practicality — ensuring compliance programs and audit recommendations are implementable in real business environments.
Global best practice — benchmarked to FATF standards and responsive to emerging financial crime typologies and risks.
This integrated approach allows the Firm to deliver high-quality, regulator-ready, and operationally sustainable AML/CFT/PF compliance solutions — and independent audit findings that withstand scrutiny from regulators, correspondent banks, and payment processors alike.
The Firm conducts independent AML/CFT/PF compliance audits through a disciplined three-phase methodology:
Phase I — Planning and Risk Assessment
Kick-off meeting; confirmation of scope, reporting protocol, and secure document access; mapping of the audit universe and data populations; and preparation of a detailed, risk-based audit program benchmarked to FATF standards and applicable local requirements.
Phase II — Document Review, Walkthroughs and Design/Effectiveness Testing
Review of governance documents, policies, and records; remote interviews and process walkthroughs; and design-level (or, where scoped, operating-effectiveness) testing across governance, customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, sanctions and PEP screening, training, and record-keeping.
Phase III — Findings Validation and Final Reporting
Discussion of preliminary exceptions with process owners; factual validation and risk-rating of findings; and issuance of a consolidated AML/CFT/PF Internal Audit Report with an executive summary, risk-rated findings, and a corrective-action tracking matrix suitable for management, the Board, and the client's banking or processor counterparts.
