In its audit report, DQS lauded PAGCORâs top management for consistently supporting quality improvements and effectively managing risk, highlighting the agencyâs strong operational controls, cross-divisional collaboration and focus on employee engagement and customer satisfaction.
Among other noteworthy initiatives cited by the third party audit team were innovations in cash transaction handling at gaming tables, the use of customer feedback systems and e-learning compliance training especially in anti-money laundering.
It also noted the agencyâs deployment of modern technologies like the âCard Canister Randomizerâ and digital record-keeping systems.
