Audits for fintech · Taiwan

Anchor & Ledger Compliance

Ledgers examined before the questions arrive.

We review settlement controls, loan files, and wallet alert handling for payments and lending teams who need findings they can act on—not a slide deck of abstractions.

Sample testing begins with the paper trail operations already keep.

Flagship engagement

Payments Control Audit

Our primary offer for acquiring and store-value operators: a 4–6 week review of settlement controls, merchant onboarding packs, and exception queues, delivered as a findings memorandum with severity ratings and remediation owners.

Work is grounded in Taiwan’s payments environment—walkthroughs in Tainan or Taipei, document review between settlement cut-offs, and language that compliance officers can take to a board or banking partner.

From the field

What clients notice in the work

They caught that our refunds dual-control existed on paper but not on the Saturday shift. The finding was blunt, and we fixed the roster before our bank partner’s visit.

The memorandum took longer than I hoped because we were slow with document access. Once files arrived, the sampling was meticulous and the severity ratings felt fair.

Field method

How we examine a control

We start with the journey money takes—onboarding, authorisation, settlement, exception—then ask staff to show the step, not recite the policy. Gaps between the two become findings.
