About the Seminar
Effective 1 Jan 2020, professional firms in Malaysia are required to comply with the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (“AMLA”). Accordingly, the Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) as the regulator for these industries, has issued guidelines to assist the lawyers, CPAs, CSPs, jewellers, estate agents (as reporting institutions) meet their AML/CFT obligations under AMLA. Specifically, these guidelines cover:
| Requirements | Bank Negara Malaysia Guideline on AML/CFT & TFS for DNFBPs – Guideline Section – |
|---|---|
| AML/CFT Policies, Procedures and Controls | 10, 11 |
| Customer Due Diligence | 14 |
| Ongoing Monitoring | 14.12 |
| Making Suspicious Transaction Reports | 19, 20 |
| AML/CFT Screening | 11.7, 15, 17, 23, 24 |
| Record Keeping | 21 |
| Staff Training | 11.8 |
While the guidelines are useful, it is important for professional firms to set up the operational processes to deal with the AML/CFT risks. This public seminar will provide practical information on how to implement the guidelines by Bank Negara Malaysia, for small and medium size firms.
