The purpose of an AML compliance consulting to Money Lenders. Do you need one?
Based on FATF’s recommendations, the Companies Registry issued a revised Guideline on Compliance of Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Requirements for Licensed Money Lenders in September 2020.
Due to the tighter vetting process from this guideline, licensed money lenders particularly need:
To establish an effective AML risk assessment framework based on the risk-based approach principle
To set up a review and audit function to which the frequency and extent of the review have to be clearly stated
To set up a suspicious transaction reporting system
To establish an Independent Audit Function
To follow Regulatory Requirements update and update workflow
Moreover, the regulatory body may conduct random on-site inspections and pre-license-renewal checking. Therefore, licensed money lenders should regularly assess and review their AML/CTF policies.
