The Wantok Program

Strengthening the Pillars Together

Each year within the Wantok Program includes one major compliance deliverable - a focused piece of work designed to strengthen a key pillar of your Financial Crime Compliance framework.

Rather than a one-time review, this process is a collaborative journey: built through structured workshops, shared insight, and iterative design. Together, we ensure your framework reflects both regulatory expectations and the lived realities of your organisation.

Examples include:

• Independent review of your Financial Crime or AML/CTF Program (annual requirement)

• Assessment of Customer Due Diligence (CDD), transaction monitoring, or reporting processes

Structure:

• 10 × 1-hour workshops to scope, test, and refine recommendations collaboratively

• 2 draft iterations and 1 final version, ensuring practical outcomes and consensus

• Delivery of a findings report with updated processes or templates tailored to your context

This approach reflects the wantok principle - building strength through connection, and ensuring each deliverable is practical, contextual, and aligned with your organisation’s priorities.

Strengthening Capability Through Shared Understanding.

Within the Wantok Program, training is more than a regulatory requirement - it is a shared process of building awareness, confidence, and integrity across the organisation.

Structured sessions are delivered throughout the year, creating a rhythm of learning that supports governance, accountability, and informed decision-making at every level.

Inclusions:

• 1 × 1-hour workshop with the Board and Executive Leadership
  Focused on governance responsibilities, tone from the top, and emerging expectations.

• 3 × 1-hour workshops with staff
  Designed to translate policy into practice and strengthen everyday awareness.

Example topics include:

• Anti-Financial Crime Awareness

• Identifying and Managing Red Flags

• Culture, Conduct, and Ethical Decision-Making

Training content and scheduling are developed collaboratively to ensure relevance and engagement.

Each session reflects the wantok principle - learning together to uphold shared responsibility - while contributing to annual regulatory training requirements.

Guidance When It Matters Most

The Wantok Program includes 20 hours of on-demand advisory support, providing direct access to senior expertise whenever you need clarity, reassurance, or strategic input.

Advisory support is flexible and responsive - designed to meet your organisation where it is and to walk alongside you as challenges or opportunities arise. This ensures leadership teams have the confidence and perspective needed to make informed, timely decisions.

Sometimes the smallest questions can create the biggest roadblocks - “Can I accept this ID?”, “Is this customer considered high-risk?”, “Do I need to update the risk assessment after a new product launch? Through the Wantok Program, you have access to up to 20 hours of professional advice throughout the year. Simply email or call us with your question, and our advisors will provide the guidance you need to proceed with confidence.

Advisory hours can also be used to:

• Prepare for or respond to regulator engagement

• Support board or risk committee meetings

• Review key documents, frameworks, or submissions

• Provide strategic input on emerging compliance and conduct matters

Each interaction reflects the wantok principle - partnership grounded in trust and mutual understanding.

It’s not just advice on demand; it’s consistent, connected guidance designed to strengthen your organisation’s confidence and capacity throughout the year.

Keeping the Rhythm of Compliance

The Wantok Program includes access to KiVA’s Compliance Calendar - a tailored schedule and reminder system that keeps your organisation in rhythm with its key compliance obligations throughout the year.

Grounded in the wantok principle of shared accountability, the calendar supports consistency and foresight. It helps ensure important milestones - from risk assessment refreshes to program reviews and training renewals - are completed on time and in step with evolving regulatory expectations.

Each calendar is designed around your organisation’s specific framework and reporting cycles, with timely reminders issued when actions or reviews are due. Updates are also shared when new regulatory guidance or industry developments arise, allowing you to respond with confidence and minimal disruption.

By keeping compliance on track and visible across the year, the Compliance Calendar removes uncertainty, reinforces accountability, and ensures your controls remain both active and effective - the quiet rhythm that sustains a strong compliance culture.
