YOUR AML COMPLIANCE PARTNER

Compliance support that works in the real world.

AML compliance is more than completing forms and retaining identification documents. Subject persons are expected to understand their customers, assess risk, identify beneficial ownership, review source of funds and wealth where appropriate, carry out screening, maintain records and demonstrate why compliance decisions were taken.

AML Compliance Experts Ltd provides practical support with the day-to-day implementation of these obligations. We can support an existing compliance team, provide additional resources when volumes increase, or undertake defined AML functions on an outsourced basis.

MORE THAN A COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST

A strong AML file should explain the customer, the risk and the decision.

Who is the customer?
Who ultimately owns or controls the entity?
What is the purpose of the relationship?
Where are the funds coming from?
Are there risk factors requiring further review?
Can the decisions taken be properly demonstrated?
