Compliance Is Expensive, but Noncompliance Can Cost Even More
Banks pay out £166bn over six years along with indictments and imprisonment

• Independent Review – Ask an reputable company/auditor to
review your current process and policy for KYC screening
• Training – Ensure the management and teams focused on KYC
screening understand the importance of this function
• Filtering solutions – There are a number of leading local and
international vendors who provide good software that will
automate KYC and account screening for the banks
• Sanction Data – The international sanction lists such as UN,
EU, OFAC are changing all the time, make sure you have the
correct mechanism in place to have the latest sanction data
• Good Customer Data – You need manage quality customer data
to have an effective KYC program. Garbage in = Garbage out
Some important considerations

“We found that banks hadgenerally developed effectivecontrols to ensure they werenot dealing with sanctionedindividuals and entities.However, policies, proceduresand controls to countermoney laundering risk weregenerally weak and mostbanks had inadequatesystems and controls overdual-use goods.”

whether the underlying
goods financed are

“While this is a complex area,
AIs should nevertheless have
measures in place, as part of
their risk-based systems and
controls that can assist in the
identification and escalation
(for further review) of dual-

transactions, taking into
account other relevant red
flags in
a transaction.”

• The KYC requirements in these area’s are very similar, with the all clients having to be screened against sanction & PEP lists
• All beneficial owners are required to be identified, with Corporate Banking senior management must be identified and screened
• In Private Banking banks typically conduct EDD screening, as many of these clients are typically High Net Worth Individuals and can pose a greater risk
• Trade finance are required to check all parties involved in the transaction, this extends to identifying the vessel, the route of the vessel, the banks, companies and all persons
• As part of the Due Diligence Process, the Head of FI is required to screen all correspondent banks against sanctions and PEP lists, this is extended to the senior management of this group

Key takeaways:
• It will get complicated!
• There is a cost of non compliance that extends
beyond just a monetary value
• De-risking is something that has a significant
economic impact to a country
• Leveraging on technology is the only option to
find a balance between rising compliance costs
and margins
