Background Information

Part 1: Risk Factors and Mitigating Measures

Chapter 3 of the FIAU Implementing Procedures Part I requires subject persons to know the ML/FT risks they are exposed to, and to adopt measures, controls and procedures which are varied depending on the level and nature of the different risks. To adopt an effective risk-based approach towards AML/CFT obligations, accountants and auditors must have a meaningful understanding of the various ML/FT risks that are relevant to their sector. During this interactive session, officials from the FIAU will set out the various customer, jurisdictional, product/service, transactional and interface risk factors which practitioners may come across when providing their services, and will suggest commensurate measures which may be undertaken to mitigate the risks in question.

Part 2: A Study of FIAU Cases involving Local Accountants and Auditors

During this session, the FIAU will be bringing risk factors to life through a number of case studies analysed by the FIAU which involved local accountants and auditors. Participants will be placed in the shoes of the subject person involved and will be asked to point out prominent red flags and high risk factors. This session will conclude with a round-up of ML typologies involving accounting and audit services, and crucial red flags which practitioners should be looking out for when exercising their profession.
