The audit firm should also have established internal reporting lines which should be followed to report any suspicions. Thomasson & Co will probably have a standard form which should be used to report suspicions of money laundering to the MLRO.
ma’am “internal reporting lines” refer to reporting lines within audit firm(for audit team members) or at the client’s place(for say team members of audit committee)?
October 15, 2021 at 11:26 am #637750doubt 2: same paragraph
maam by “standard form” is the answer referring to a printed form which should include the detail of alleged fraud?
or “standard form” refers to a standard operating procedure(SOP) that should be followed in case of a suspected ML fraud?
October 15, 2021 at 11:30 am #637751The MLRO is within the audit firm. Reporting is within the firm and the standard form is the firm’s prescribed documentation.
October 21, 2021 at 6:24 am #638671and this internal report/documentation is submitted to just MLRO right? and not even to audit engagement partner / EQCR/ IQCR?
October 21, 2021 at 8:38 am #638681See page 32 – reporting to the designated MLRO is a regulatory requirement. If the law says that suspicion has to be reported to the MLRO – reporting to someone else is not an alternative. It could well be the audit engagement partner who reports suspicion to the MLRO.
