About the Webinar
Effective since 1 March 2018, accounting professionals, including CPAs and TCSPs in Hong Kong, are required to comply with the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Ordinance (Cap.615) (AMLO). Accordingly, the HKICPA and CR have issued guidelines on AML/ CTF to assist CPAs and TCSPs to meet their obligations under the AMLO respectively. Specifically, these guidelines cover:
| Requirements | CR Guideline Chapter | HKICPA Guideline Section |
|---|---|---|
| AML/CTF Policies, Procedures and Controls | 3 & 4 | 610 |
| Customer Due Diligence | 5 | 620 |
| Ongoing Monitoring | 6 | 630 |
| Making Suspicious Transaction Reports | 7 | 640 |
| Financial Sanctions and Terrorist Financing | 8 | 650 |
| Record Keeping | 9 | 660 |
| Staff Training | 10 | 670 |
In the meantime, with ever-changing threats in financial crimes and terrorism, it is important for professional firms to set up the operational processes to deal with the AML/CTF risks, and keep up to date on the latest trends and developments in AML/CTF.
This webinar will provide practical information on: Updates on the regulations; TCSP License renewal tips; and right tools for AML compliance for small and medium-sized firms.
