Customers may ask why CDD must be done? The answer is quite obvious, under section 28F(9) ACRA ACT
Every Registered Filling Agent (RFA) shall comply with all of the following Conditions:
- to perform such CDD measures to detect or prevent Money laundering and terrorist financing;
- to cease to act a FA for a person if the RFA is unable to complete the prescribled CDD measures in respect of that person;
- to keep, in such manner and for such minimum period as may be prescribed, al records obtained through the prescribed CDD measures, including (but not limited to) all copies or records of any identification documents, accounts, and business correspondence as well as the results of any analysis undertaken;
- such other terms and conditions of registration as may be prescribed.
Non compliance can lead to cancellation of the license, suspension of registration, restriction on use of ACRA system and a penalty of less than $25,000.
It is hoped that potential customers can now understand why we insist on obtaining a complete CDD from them.
