Examiners and independent auditors ask for the same artefacts in different order. Staging them early shortens fieldwork and reduces mid-week panic.
Core packs
Prepare onboarding scripts for each corridor, agent appointment and training records, complaint logs for the last twelve months, and end-of-day settlement packs that include weekend batches. If weekend archives live on a separate drive, label that path in your index.
Reconciliation evidence
Pair each settlement date with the nostro statement and the customer ledger extract. Note who signed off breaks and when they closed. Auditors for fintech remittance firms spend disproportionate time on unsigned breaks that operations “know about.”
Coordination tip
Appoint one coordinator who can pull samples without waiting for the CEO. Delayed sample pulls are the most common reason readiness audits slip past examination dates.
