Every compliance programme is built on a foundation. For ABC Trust Company, that foundation had never been properly laid.

Report cards are out.

As firms begin receiving their final inspection reports, we are increasingly being engaged to review the findings and advise on remediation. The patterns we are seeing are consistent: institutional risk assessments, customer risk assessments, ongoing customer due diligence, and suspicious activity reporting.

These deficiencies are rarely isolated. A weakness in one area frequently creates gaps in another, and the reports make this interconnection clear.

In this article, we examine what these findings have in common, why they compound, and what a structured remediation response looks like in practice.

Most BVI compliance teams have an ongoing monitoring policy. Fewer have the file evidence to prove it is being followed.

Inspectors do not take your manual at face value. They open the file and look for proof that monitoring actually happened. The gap between what the policy says and what the file shows is exactly where findings live.

The BVI FSC's risk-rating framework runs from Level 1 (Lowest Risk) to Level 5 (Critical). Firms are not fixed at any point.

Where you sit depends on your governance, controls, compliance culture and how well your team identifies and manages regulatory risk.

Swipe through to see what Gold Leaf's Regulatory Consulting Retainer delivers for firms that want to stay ahead of that question.

Registration for the IRA Masterclass closes on June 16th.

An IRA that does not hold up under inspection is not just a finding. It generates a remediation obligation, a timeline, and enforcement risk. The session on 18 June covers exactly what makes the difference between the two. If you have been on the fence, the window is closing.

Thursday 18 June 2026 | 2:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. AST |
Short break included | $495 | Virtual

Our CEO reviews a lot of IRAs. Last week she reviewed one that made her stop.

Not because something was wrong. Because everything that should be there was there, working together, in a way she has been describing in training sessions for years but rarely sees in practice.

She wrote about what she found. Worth reading if you are an MLRO or compliance officer responsible for your firm's IRA.
