AML Testing provided by SDDco
S.D. Daniels & Co., LLC (“SDDco-LLC”), a subsidiary of DFP Partners, provides independent testing of the Anti-Money Laundering (AML) programs of FINRA member broker-dealers and other financial institutions.
After our independent, in-depth review to test conformity with applicable AML mandates, SDDco-LLC determines if your firm maintains and implements proper and effective AML policies and procedures. Upon completion of the testing process, we will provide a written report on findings and recommendations, including: details of the manner and method of your firm’s internal AML compliance testing; an assessment of firm compliance with your AML supervisory system and AML WSP; a summary of the gaps discovered; and identification of the changes your firm needs to enhance the effectiveness of your AML compliance program.
