Independent Audit & Regulatory Compliance Support

Service Overview:

Most gaming licences come with an ongoing obligation to be independently checked. Depending on the jurisdiction, that can mean periodic compliance audits, AML/CFT reviews, information security audits or certification of games and systems, with the results reported to the regulator. We help licence holders understand exactly which audits their licences require, carry out independent reviews where the licensee can appoint a suitably qualified independent party, and prepare the business for audits that must be performed by a regulator-approved or accredited firm.

Why It Matters:

Audit requirements are a condition of the licence, not a formality. The Malta Gaming Authority requires licensees to appoint an approved audit service provider for compliance audits, UK remote licensees must commission an annual independent security audit against the Gambling Commission's technical standards, and markets such as Sweden require gaming systems to be certified by accredited testing bodies. Missed or failed audits can lead to regulatory action, additional licence conditions or, in serious cases, suspension.

What's Included in Independent Audit & Regulatory Compliance Support:

We give you a clear view of every audit obligation, an independent check of how you are performing against them, and support to fix anything that needs attention.

Audit Planning:

• Mapping of every audit, review and reporting obligation attached to your licences, with deadlines.
• An annual compliance calendar so nothing is missed across jurisdictions.
• Identification of where an approved or accredited auditor is required and where an independent reviewer can be appointed.

Independent Reviews:

• Independent compliance reviews against licence conditions and regulatory codes.
• AML/CFT framework reviews, covering risk assessments, customer due diligence and transaction monitoring.
• Responsible gambling, player protection and player-funds reviews.
• Website, terms and conditions and marketing compliance reviews.
• Clear written reports with findings rated by risk and practical recommendations.

Audit Readiness & Remediation:

• Pre-audit readiness reviews before an approved auditor or testing body begins work.
• Coordination with audit service providers, testing laboratories and information security auditors.
• Remediation plans and support to close findings within the regulator's deadlines.
• Preparation of management responses and regulatory submissions.

Where a regulator requires a specific approved or accredited firm, we coordinate that audit rather than perform it, so the requirement is met by the right provider.
