In the modern regulatory landscape, an AML failing is more than just a compliance headache, it is a commercial “death blow.” As highlighted in recent industry analysis, lenders are increasingly removing firms from panels not just for being sanctioned by the SRA , but for failing to catch breaches themselves.
As part of an appeal for reinstatement, or requiring an urgent audit to secure Professional Indemnity (PI) Insurance some firms are advised that a key supporting document is an Independent AML Audit Report
Lexsure Independent AML audits operate on a subscription-based model, requiring 6–9 months of payments before a fixed audit date is even scheduled. At Lexsure, we understand that when your panel membership or insurance is on the line, you need results now.
To meet this critical and increasing demand, Lexsure reserves two dedicated days every month specifically for firms requiring an Expedited Independent AML Audit.
Immediate Availability: Skip the 9-month waiting period. Secure a slot in our next available monthly “Expedition Window.”
Lender Panel Focused: Specifically designed for firms needing to prove “Evidence of Investment” and robust oversight following an SRA investigation or lender query.
Rapid Turnaround: Receive your independent audit report quickly to support your appeal or insurance application.
Fixing the “Undiscovered Gap”: Lenders often ask why internal audits didn’t catch a breach. Our independent audit provides the authoritative, third-party validation required to restore lender confidence.
Fee: £3,950 + VAT (Fixed Fee)
Important Notice on AML Audit Independence: To maintain the integrity of our findings and the trust of external stakeholders (lenders, regulators and insurers), this audit is strictly objective. We cannot guarantee a positive report. Our duty is to provide a truthful assessment and recommend corrective actions where necessary.
This fee covers the independent AML audit and the resulting report. This service does not include consultancy or legal advice regarding the specific appeal process to lenders. However, if you require specialist assistance with the wording or management of a lender panel appeal, we can refer you to a dedicated team that specialises in that particular service.
When a lender sends a due diligence email, they are looking for a reason to retain your firm on their panel or a reason to remove you. An expedited, professional independent audit can have a key role to play in providing the strongest evidence that your firm has moved beyond manual spot-checks to robust, expert-validated oversight.
