Anti money laundering compliance is a complex challenge for all businesses but especially those in the finance sector and professions. The penalties for non compliance are severe and the reputational damage from a public censure is long-lasting.
Most jurisdictions now, and many for a number of years, have reputations which stipulate that all prospective and existing clients are risk assessed for money laundering and terrorist financing activities at the start of the relationship. Businesses are then required to keep the assessment under review. All organisations must put in place certain controls to prevent it from being used for money laundering. These include:
-
Assessing the risk of your business being used by criminals to launder money
-
Checking the identity of your customers
-
Checking the identity of 'beneficial owners' of corporate bodies and partnerships
-
Monitoring your customers' business activities and reporting anything suspicious
-
Making sure you have the necessary management control systems in place
-
Keeping all documents that relate to financial transactions, the identity of your customers, risk assessment and management procedures and processes
