Customer Due Diligence, Identification, Monitoring And Restrictions

Customer Due Diligence

The object of customer due diligence is to identify customers and verify their identity.

Customer due diligence should include checking the list of financial sanctions targets listed on the competent authorities website. The Company should not do business with a person or entity subject of a financial sanctions.

The Company should be able to demonstrate that its due diligence (KYC) measures are appropriate in light of the Company’s risk of money laundering by. Steps in the Know Your Customer (KYC) process are:

• Identification of customers; including simplify due diligence with the only requirement to identify the IMA and no requirements to verify the information (appropriate where it is hardly possible or there is a low risk of Company’s services or customer becoming involved in money laundering or terrorist financing).

The business relationship should be continually monitored for trigger events which may create a requirement for further due diligence in the future.

• These are generally situations where there is a potential risk but it is unlikely that these risks will crystallize (a risk that happened and loss occurred .

The standard due diligence procedure requires customers’ identification as well as verifying of the customer’s identity . In addition, the Company ensures gathering of information so as to understand the nature of the business relationship with the customer. This due diligence procedure should give us confidence that we know who our customers are and that our services or products are s not being used for money laundering or for any other criminal activity.

As with simplified due diligence we monitor our customers throughout all the business relationship, which enables us highlighting any potential trigger events that may result in further due diligence being required.

• Enhance Due Diligence is required where the customer and product/service combination is considered to be a greater risk. This higher level of due diligence is required to mitigate the increased risk. A high risk situation generally occurs where there is an increased opportunity of money laundering or terrorist financing through the service and product provided to the customer.

What the enhanced due diligence actually entails will dependent on the nature and severity of the risk. The Company’s additional due diligence could take many forms - from gathering additional information to verifying the customers identity or source of income or perhaps an adverse media check. The checks should be relative and proportionate to the level of risk identified and should give confidence that any risk has been mitigated and that the risk is unlikely to crystallize

The Company asks its customers to state whether or not they hold or have previously held a prominent public government function and ensure that such customers are treated as high risk.

Identification and Verification

Identification can be documentary, electronic or a combination of both. A record should be kept of all evidence taken to establish the customer’s identity. Documentation of identity should be supplemented with additional identification such as a recent utility bill or a bank statement which is less than 3 months' old and which shows the customer's name and address.

Ongoing Monitoring

The Company should monitor customer activity on an ongoing basis.

Ongoing monitoring includes:

• Scrutinising transactions, including the source of funds, the directions of funds; changes of transactions models,
• Ensuring information about customers is kept up to date

Monitoring may take place as part of a review of previous transactions and can be manual or automated. Staff should be trained in conducting ongoing monitoring.
