Company’s Role in Anti Money Laundering
Organizations, especially financial institutions, must adhere to the Anti Money Laundering guidelines set by the governed bodies. And to do this, they must have AML and KYC Policies in place to detect, monitor, and rectify fraudulent activities within their organization and with their clients.
Customer Identification – Know Your Customer
B2B and B2C business types perform KYC whenever they bring a new client or a customer onboard. Companies and individuals have to submit their government Identification proofs, address proofs, and income proofs in the KYC process. Same for the companies, they have to submit their company-related documents, and tax documents as per the KYC norms. This way, the second party in the deal comes to know about the company or individual’s legitimacy and genuine business practice.
Enhanced Due Diligence
Consistent Monitoring
Checking your customers is only half part of the system. Checking them consistently is the other half. It is an ongoing process. It covers monitoring financial transactions, unusual cross-border activities, or deals with people on the sanction lists. If anything unusual or that is not in sync with the regulatory compliance happens, then it gets reported through a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR).
AML/KYC Implementation in the Companies
Financial criminals execute the task of converting their illegally traded money into legal money by creating shell companies and being in business with legitimate companies. The Anti Money Laundering regulations are therefore set for all the banking and non-banking institutions to follow so that the transactions to convert illegal money can be stopped.
