Engagement

Regulatory readiness audit

An independent walkthrough of licensing-critical controls for payment and remittance firms facing FSC examination or investor diligence in Taiwan.

Hands reviewing and signing financial documents on a desk

Why this engagement exists

Licensing interviews rarely fail on missing policy titles. They strain when daily settlement packs, agent files, or complaint logs cannot match what the binder promises. This audit is built for that gap.

What fieldwork looks like

We walk control owners through onboarding scripts and live (or recorded) settlement batches. Samples are drawn from populations you confirm in writing. Exceptions are logged with evidence IDs before they appear in the draft memo, so the closing conference is about facts and ranking — not surprises.

Deliverable

You receive a ranked findings memo: severity, control reference, evidence pointer, recommended owner, and suggested remediation window. Optional annexes include a control matrix and a short board summary in English or Chinese as agreed at kickoff.

Who it is for

Licensed or licence-seeking payment institutions, remittance operators, and e-wallet issuers in Taiwan that need a frank control assessment before an examination or funding diligence window.

Result

A ranked findings memo with sample references, control owners, and remediation priorities your compliance officer can assign before the board meeting.

Scope

Onboarding, agent oversight (where applicable), settlement reconciliations, complaint handling, and selected governance artefacts tied to your licence type. Product lines are locked at kickoff.

Included

Scoping call, document request list, fieldwork days as quoted, sample testing within agreed populations, draft review conference, and final bilingual-capable memo.

Excluded

Legal opinions, system implementation, continuous monitoring retainers, and testing of product lines added after scope lock without a change order.

Led by

Delivery

Preparation
