About the webinar:
The Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) requires Accountable Institutions to determine if a client holds a prominent or politically exposed position. Screening for political exposure isn’t just another regulatory checkbox—it’s a critical step in safeguarding your business from potential exposure to financial crime.
Join us for our free FICA webinar on the 14th of May at 10:00 AM, where our compliance experts will walk you through the crucial steps of identifying different types of PEPs and implementing effective FICA compliance processes.
We will delve in to why screening for political exposure is required, breaking down who qualifies as a PEP and PIP under the FIC Act. Learn about the distinct categories—DPEPs, FPEPs, and PIPs—and the specific due diligence required, helping you navigate the risks and compliance requirements with ease. By the end of the session, you’ll be equipped to confidently handle screening for political exposure, ensuring your business stays compliant and avoids costly mistakes.
