58 Enhanced CDD Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) PEP - refers to domestic PEP, foreign PEP or international organisation (IO) PEP Domestic PEP - individual entrusted domestically with prominent public functions Foreign PEP individual entrusted with prominent public functions by foreign country IO PEP individual entrusted with prominent public functions by IO 58
59 Enhanced CDD Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) Examples of prominent public functions roles held by Head of State or government, government ministers, senior civil or public servants etc. Family member - parent, step-parent, child, stepchild, adopted child, spouse, sibling, step-sibling and adopted sibling of PEP Close associate - individual who is closely connected to PEP, either socially or professionally 59
60 Enhanced CDD Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) EAs shall implement appropriate internal policies, procedures and controls to determine if customer or BO is PEP, or family member or close associate of a PEP For foreign PEP, or family member or close associate of foreign PEP, EAs shall establish process for salespersons to obtain approval from EAs management to establish or continue business relationship Establish by appropriate and reasonable means, source of wealth and funds For domestic and IO PEPs, consider these measures if assessed to be higher risk relationship or transaction 60
61 Enhanced CDD Higher Risk Areas Consider enhanced CDD measures for complex, unusually large transactions, or unusual patterns of transactions Obtain more information on customer by reasonable means (e.g. occupation, source of funds/wealth, purpose of transaction) Pay attention to business relations and transactions with individuals and companies from higher risk countries (to refer to FATF public list of high-risk and noncooperative jurisdictions: 61
62 CDD Measures On-going Due Diligence Conduct due diligence on clients whom EA has on-going business relationship Ensure transactions consistent with knowledge of client, business and risk profile, and source of funds 62
63 Follow-up from CDD If there are reasons to be suspicious of client or beneficial owner, or where CDD cannot be completed, EAs and salespersons shall not deal with client or beneficial owner, terminate relationship and consider lodging STR Note: In cases where EAs and salespersons reasonably believe that undertaking CDD measures would tip-off client, should not pursue CDD process and should lodge STR 63
64 Suspicious Transaction Reporting Suspicious Transaction Reporting (STR) plays important role in combating ML and TF Lodge STR if you know or have reason to suspect that any transaction is connected to ML or TF o Report goes to Suspicious Transaction Reporting Office (STRO) of CAD PC has list of common suspicious indicators to help EAs and salespersons decide on lodging STR 64
65 Suspicious Indicators of ML/TF Activity Client intends to make real estate purchase with significant amount of cash e.g. paying option fee or down payment for property in cash Client is unconcerned about value of the property, and is willing to pay much higher or sell much lower than market value Client is planning to purchase multiple properties in short period of time Adverse news concerning client in the media 65
66 Suspicious Indicators of ML/TF Activity Salespersons not able to complete CDD measures, e.g. client not forthcoming when salesperson asks for identity of BO Buyer is shell company and representatives of buyer refuse to disclose identity of true owner(s) of the company Client s known business activity and purpose does not match with real estate transaction, e.g. client is non-profit organisation but property is purchased for investment and client intends to take large loan 66
67 Record Keeping In line with FATF requirement, EAs shall retain originals or keep copies of documents relating to property transactions for at least 5 years. Current 3-year record keeping requirement in Code of Practice will be revised to 5 years Retain records for cases under investigation or which are subject of STR for longer period as may be required by authorities Records may be retained in electronic form 67
68 Training KEOs shall take appropriate steps to ensure that salespersons are regularly trained on: o AML and CFT requirements, CDD measures, detecting and reporting STRs o Prevailing methods and trends in ML and TF o EAs internal policies, procedures and controls on AML/CFT 68
69 Compliance Management Procedures KEOs shall develop compliance management arrangements on AML/CFT measures, through internal checks or audits Spot checks could be conducted on CDD measures undertaken by salespersons. 69
70 Learning Points from Inspections Risk Assessment Assessment & Identification of higher risk areas: EAs to evaluate the profile of their customers and transactions to identify higher risk transactions, e.g.: o Higher value transactions (e.g. above $3 million), transactions involving foreigners, cash transactions Mitigation of risk: This could entail EAs putting in place system for Management to pay greater attention to higher-risk transactions identified, e.g.: o o System trigger to alert them to such transactions or requirement for salespersons to report such transactions Management will scrutinise these transactions more closely for need for CDD and lodging of STR 70
71 Learning Points from Inspections Risk Assessment Documentation: This area is found lacking - scope for improving the documentation of risk assessment which should include: o o o Evaluation of customer and transaction profile of EA Identification of higher-risk areas Actions to mitigate risks identified 71
72 Learning Points from Inspections CDD Measures Procedures for Salespersons to comply: EAs must put in place and communicate to salespersons measures and procedures for CDD o Could follow closely to procedures in CEA s PC and any other additional measure EA requires, e.g. reporting of higher-risk transactions to Management, internal CDD checklists Communications of CDD Procedures/Measures: Could be through: o s, websites, briefings conducted to team leaders or salespersons, posters in EA s premises 72
73 Learning Points from Inspections STR Reporting Oversight by EA: Some EAs choose to exercise some oversight, e.g.: o o Developed mechanisms for salespersons to report suspicious transactions, discuss with salespersons and if valid, EA lodge STR EAs will discuss and guide salespersons, salespersons lodge STR Number of STRs lodged by industry is very low EAs and salespersons should lodge STRs when there is suspicion of ML/TF activity, e.g. use of significant cash, customers prepared to pay and not concerned with value of property, customers not forthcoming and being evasive 73
74 Learning Points from Inspections Training EAs can do more to get salespersons to be trained. Can consider: o o Using in-house seminars or monthly meetings as platform to conduct AML/CFT training Link-up with Industry Association for conduct of AML/CFT training or be conducted by EA s management personnel Allows for training of customised procedures of the EAs Encourage salespersons to attend CPD courses on AML/CFT Ensure that AML/CFT training records of salespersons are updated 74
75 Observations from Inspections Compliance Management This area is found lacking EAs have to put in place system to conduct checks/audits to ensure the AML/CFT procedures for their salespersons are complied with: o o o Decide on system/plan for compliance checks/audits, e.g. focusing on higher-risk transactions Conduct checks/audits in accordance with the plan Document checks/audits 75
76 Questions from EAs Self-Assessment Checklist Returns Mine is a small firm with limited activity, so AML/CFT procedures are not relevant to me. Response: Application of AML/CFT procedures is on property transactions, and are applicable to all EAs, big or small, that engage in property transactions Not necessary to have AML/CFT procedures as my salespersons only handle lease transactions. Response: Cannot apply blanket exemption. Illegal proceeds can be broken up into smaller, less conspicuous amounts for ML. Properties that are leased out could provide regular stream of income to finance illegal activities, including terrorist activities. 76
77 Questions from EAs Self-Assessment Checklist Returns Lawyers and bankers will handle money and loan for our clients. I am confident that our law firms and banks are efficient enough to filter those related to ML and TF. Response: According to FATF s standards, AML/CFT procedures are applicable to non-financial sectors. Apart from real estate, also applies to lawyers, accountants, developers, moneylenders, etc. As responsible industry, we have to play our part in combating ML & TF. How might salespersons conduct CDD checks without jeopardising the transaction? Response: Salespersons can inform clients that CDD checks are CEA s requirements. If client is uncooperative or unresponsive, salesperson should lodge an STR. 77
