Independent Regulation 21 AML audit

Independent AML assurance, without traditional consultancy cost.

A focused, independent and human-reviewed AML audit for UK law firms, with clear findings and practical priorities for action.

£999 + VAT for firms with up to 10 partners. Larger firms by enquiry.

An independent review of agreed evidence, with clear scope and report boundaries—not a certification, guarantee of compliance, regulator approval or ongoing monitoring service.

What to expect

A proportionate audit with professional judgement at its centre.

Independent assessment

A structured review by HS Consultants Oxford Limited, separate from your firm and calibrated to the agreed scope, evidence and risk context.

Human-reviewed conclusions

Technology supports analysis; an experienced human reviewer validates, challenges and signs off the findings.

Management-ready report

A clear report of the review, including headline findings, practical priorities and recommended next steps.

Clear boundaries

The agreed evidence and scope define what is considered, so the report is clear about what has and has not been reviewed.

The audit process

Clear from purchase to secure report delivery.

A deliberately simple journey, with MadeThis handling the commercial and administrative layer only.

Data minimisation: Please do not provide live client identity documents, unnecessary personal information, privileged material or other client-confidential information unless specifically requested. Anonymise documents where reasonably possible.

What we review

Your AML framework—not unnecessary client data.
