Show Notes
In this episode we hear from Senior AML Regulator Shawn, about one of the tools DIA uses to make sure regulated entities are meeting their obligations – the Onsite Inspection.
During this korero, Shawn covers how an onsite inspection works, what regulators are looking for, and how they contribute to our wider goal of disrupting organised crime in New Zealand.
Audio in this episode comes from a presentation delivered to an audience of regulated entities outside the banking and financial services sectors and is intended as an overview rather than a deep dive.

This year Gambling Harm Awareness Week runs from Monday 31 August until Sunday 6 September. To mark the occasion, we speak to Shayne Nahu, Group Manager -Toi Ora at Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora. During the korero we discuss this year's focus on online gambling for young people, some warning signs to look out for, and where to go for help.
It is important that all reporting entities (who have obligations under the AML/CFT Act) understand the risks around how their business could be used to launder illicit money or finance terrorism. And DIA’s suite of Sector Risk Assessments (or SRAs) can help with this.
All legal forms of gambling in New Zealand - no matter the game – fall into a specific gambling ‘class’.
On 1 July 2026, the Department of Internal Affairs will will become New Zealand’s sole regulator for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism.
