Are gold and silver holdings independently audited?

Yes, all gold and silver held by Kinesis undergo independent, third-party audits, two 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 does an audit work?

At a designated date, independent officers from Inspectorate International physically tally the quantity of gold and silver held in Kinesis’ vaults and check the total against the quantity reported by Kinesis’ strategic partner, ABX.

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, and the storage facility.
