Should my firm have registered as an accountable institution with the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) or not?

Overview

For every accounting professional, the burning question revolved around whether their firm needed to be registered as an accountable institution with the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) and which of their clients were subject to the Customer Due Diligence (CDD) process.

We held a webinar where we provided guidance to help you determine whether you should have registered your firm or not.

If your firm was accountable, it was crucial to register with the FIC without delay.

Even if your firm was not accountable, you had to be able to demonstrate how you evaluated all your activities to conclude that your firm was not accountable.


Webinar Content

By attending this webinar, we provided clarity on:

• Whether your firm needed to register with the FIC.

• Which clients were subject to the Customer Due Diligence process.

• The importance of implementing an RMCP.

If your firm was required to be registered, you needed to develop and implement a Risk Management Compliance Program (RMCP). We had created an RMCP toolkit specifically designed for the accounting profession. During the webinar, we also demonstrated how this toolkit could assist you.

An interactive Q&A session followed the webinar, where we answered all the questions you had.

By attending this webinar, you gained a solid understanding of your firm’s registration obligations and the steps required for compliance with the FIC.


Competencies Developed in this Webinar

  • Understood whether or not your firm was an accountable institution.
  • Determined which clients were subject to the Customer Due Diligence process.
  • Obtained an understanding of when a Risk Management Compliance Programme was required.
