As a tax practitioner, your responsibilities may extend far beyond tax compliance—you could also fall within the definition of an Accountable Institution under the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA). This insightful and practical webinar is designed to equip you with the knowledge and tools to navigate the evolving regulatory landscape shaped by South Africa’s greylisting by the FATF and the Financial Intelligence Centre’s increasing focus on professional service providers.
The session will explore your duties in terms of anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) compliance, including identifying and reporting suspicious transactions, conducting effective client due diligence (CDD), and maintaining the necessary internal controls and record-keeping processes. You’ll also gain clarity on your role as a compliance officer, and receive practical guidance on preparing for regulatory inspections—ensuring your practice stays aligned with FIC requirements while remaining focused on your core tax services.
