AML: Anti-money laundering
Insider trading, collusion, terrorist financing and money laundering, among other things, means that compliance and anti-money laundering (AML) carry considerable risk.
Supervisory authorities and regulators are responsible for monitoring compliance to AML obligations of members under their supervision. In cases of non-compliance they may apply disciplinary measures to persons falling under its supervision such as the imposition of administrative fines and amending, suspending or revoking their members’ operating license.
As part of this, firms are required to establish and maintain policies, procedures and control systems to prevent money laundering and to ensure the reporting of any cases that may be known or suspected.
Appropriate procedures should be implemented for:
-
Know Your Client (KYC)
-
Record keeping
-
Recognising and reporting suspicions of money laundering
-
The education and training of all employees
-
Verification on a regular basis of compliance with policies, procedures and control systems relating to anti-money laundering activities through reports submitted to the relevant authorities and regulators
