E-Money Safeguarding Audit Fundamentals

A six-module program that turns safeguarding obligations into a repeatable audit preparation rhythm for Korean fintech issuers and their advisors.

6 modules Live clinics Evidence checklist included

Who this is for

Compliance managers, treasury analysts, internal auditors, and external reviewers supporting e-money or prepaid issuers. You should already know your product rails; we focus on how those rails appear under safeguarding scrutiny.

Curriculum

Modules

Module 1 — Safeguarding obligations in plain language

What “client money” means for e-money models, how Korea-focused supervisory expectations shape desk practice, and where marketing language collides with ledger reality.

Module 2 — Float topology & bank mapping

Trace liabilities across safeguarding accounts, operating accounts, and partner wallets. Identify silent concentration risks.

Module 3 — Reconciliation ownership

Daily and period-end packs, break taxonomies, and escalation when ops folklore replaces documented process.

Module 4 — Control testing without theatre

Sample design for safeguarding controls, evidence that actually supports assertions, and how to document exceptions honestly.

Module 5 — Evidence packs & narrative indexes

Structure files so examiners can follow the story from liability to bank balance without a scavenger hunt.

Module 6 — Walkthrough clinic

Live Q&A simulations, finding response drafts, and a take-home checklist for the next review cycle.

FAQ

Do you cover every Korean regulatory circular line-by-line?

No. We prioritize desk-ready practice and common examiner themes. Legal interpretation of a specific circular remains with your counsel — that is a real limitation of this course.

Can our external auditor join?

Yes. Many cohorts mix issuer staff with audit partners. We ask mixed teams to share only anonymized examples in live clinics.

Is there a certificate?

Participants who complete modules and the walkthrough clinic receive a completion letter. It is not a regulated professional licence.

What if our product model is unusual?

Bring a one-page float sketch to Module 2. We adapt clinic prompts where we can; highly bespoke structures may need a scoped briefing afterward.

Course reviews

Voices from recent cohorts

★★★★★

Module 5’s narrative index stopped our evidence folder from becoming a dump of PDFs. Fieldwork questions finally landed on the right file first.

Sora J. · Internal audit, Busan

“We used the reconciliation ownership worksheet the week after Module 3. Breaks older than five days now have a named owner — that alone changed our Monday standup.”

Anonymous client in wallet operations

Clear teaching. The walkthrough clinic was intense in a good way. I would have liked more coverage of foreign custodian letters; we still patched that with counsel.
