Implementing e-CDD, e-KYC and Source of Wealth & Funds Enquiries

Introduction

Consequent upon some recent changes to the Money Laundering Regulations brought in in 2020, many firms are now implementing improved systems to undertake client due diligence (CDD) by way of electronic search, rather than by getting clients to bring in two pieces of evidence to the office.

This is partly due to the lockdown restrictions in place over the last two years. But is it all it is cracked up to be?

Does it satisfy the requirements of the rules relating to CDD?

What about source of wealth and funds enquiries? Are they adequate too?

During this new virtual classroom seminar, compliance expert Trevor Hellawell will answer the above questions and more.
