Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) are a set of regulations and laws that aim to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other financial crimes. AML/CFT compliance involves implementing processes and controls to detect, prevent, and report any suspicious activities. The AML/CFT compliance requirements vary by jurisdiction, but some common measures include:
Customer due diligence (CDD)
collecting and verifying customer information, including identification documents and source of funds.
Monitoring transactions
regularly reviewing transactions to identify and report any suspicious activity.
Risk assessment
evaluating the money laundering and terrorist financing risks faced by the organization.
Reporting suspicious activity
reporting any suspicious transactions to the relevant authorities.
Employee training
providing training to employees on AML/CFT policies and procedures.
Financial institutions, such as banks and money service businesses, are typically subject to more stringent AML/CFT requirements due to their higher risk of being used for money laundering and terrorism financing activities. However, non-financial businesses, such as real estate companies and law firms, may also be subject to AML/CFT regulations if they are involved in certain high-risk activities.
Adherence to AML/CFT regulations is important for both legal and reputational reasons. Organizations that fail to comply with AML/CFT requirements may face significant fines and legal penalties, as well as damage to their reputation.
