The 994+ Requirements Workbook

The requirements workbook provides a granular, case-based checklist derived from FATF guidance, OFAC enforcement patterns, and global AML standards. Each requirement is phrased as an auditable statement that can be marked as implemented, in progress, or not applicable. The workbook spans 7 process areas: customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, sanctions, travel rule, reporting, governance, and technology controls. Example questions include: "Do you collect wallet ownership proof for non-custodial transfers over $1,000?" "Is your transaction monitoring system configured to detect rapid chain hopping?" and "Have you documented your process for blocking addresses linked to sanctioned entities?"

The 20+ Templates

The toolkit includes 20+ downloadable templates in Excel and Word formats designed for immediate use in crypto compliance operations. These include a customer risk rating matrix, travel rule data collection form, SAR filing template with blockchain evidence fields, sanctions screening log, VASP license application checklist, custody audit worksheet, and compliance program maturity assessment grid. Each template is pre-filled with realistic examples and includes instructions for adaptation to your firm's size and jurisdiction.
