Ensure you know how to meet your Fica requirements
A number of entities have become accountable institutions as a result of amendments to Schedule 1 of the Financial Intelligence Act (Fica) that came into effect on 19 December 2022.
Accountable institutions are required to register with the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC). In addition, they must fulfil certain regulatory obligations, such as:
- Implementing customer identification and verification processes;
- Conducting customer due diligence;
- Appointing a compliance officer;
- Training employees on Fica compliance;
- Undertaking business risk assessments; and
- Maintaining and implementing a risk management and compliance programme.
If you’re uncertain about what your organisation must do to fulfil your Fica obligations, look no further than MBSE’s updated FICA Awareness Short Course.
The short course is designed for:
- The personnel responsible for the compliance function within an organisation that is subject to Fica compliance);
- Employees of accountable and reporting institutions who are affected by Fica compliance obligations or
- Individuals seeking employment in anti-money laundering and counter financing of terrorism positions.
