Audits Trust and security
Are Kinesis gold and silver holdings independently audited?

Yes, all gold and silver held by Kinesis undergo independent, third-party audits, four times a year.

We employ the world-class independent audit and inspection specialist, Inspectorate International, a Bureau Veritas company, to conduct regular, independent, physical audits of all gold and silver within the Kinesis vaults. Additionally, independent auditors perform a series of assessments to ensure the weight and fineness of the bullion are as stated, and the quality of the storage is satisfactory.

Who conducts Kinesis audits?

Audits of all physical gold and silver underpinning Kinesis gold and silver-based digital currencies are conducted, four times a year, by Inspectorate International, a Bureau Veritas company and leading global physical commodity audit and inspection specialist.

How often are audits of the Kinesis gold and silver holdings conducted?

Inspectorate International conducts an independent audit of all physical gold and silver underpinning Kinesis gold and silver-based digital currencies, four times a year.

How does an audit work?

At a designated time and date, independent officers from Inspectorate International enter all of Kinesis’ global vaulting facilities and physically tally the quantity of gold and silver held. Shortly thereafter, the inspectors checked the total against the quantity reported by Kinesis’ strategic partner, ABX, in the inventory report on a prior date. Therefore, the quantity of gold and silver held in our vaults is checked against the record of all KAU and KAG in circulation, stored on our blockchain. See a live record of all Kinesis currencies in existence – here.

As well as recording the quantity, the auditors assess the quality and weight of a random selection of gold and silver bars. For this purpose, the inspectors carry out tests to assess the weight and fineness of the gold and silver. Additionally, the auditors assess whether or not the quality of the storage facility was satisfactory.

The results of the audit verify that every KAU and KAG within the Kinesis Monetary System is based on an exact 1:1 allocated quantity of physical gold and silver.
