September 26 is Compliance Officers’ Day

The Compliance function is primarily in charge of ensuring that business is carried out diligently, fairly and equitably in the overriding interests of clients and market integrity.
Therefore it is the line of defense protecting both Customers and the Institution.

Three Type of Sanctions – In a Nutshell

Types of Sanctions
Comprehensive Sanctions: These types of sanctions are usually applied to countries.
They prohibit institutions from dealing with certain countries, however, some exceptions concerning humanitarian aid may take place.
Sectoral Sanctions: Under this type of sanction, dealing with a country in a specific sector is prohibited, i.e. energy, petroleum, arms, etc.
However, it is permissible to deal with the targeted state in other sectors.
Targeted Sanctions: This type of sanction usually applies to individuals, entities, and groups, due to committing acts related to Money Laundering or Terrorism Financing.
 

CBI & RBI – In a Nutshell

CBI & RBI
“Citizenship by Investment” (CBI) and “Residence by Investment” (RBI) schemes are offered by a number of jurisdictions to foreign individuals wishing to obtain a citizenship or residence on the basis of local investments or against a flat fee.
CBI/RBI can be misused to undermine the Common Reporting Standard (CRS).
This occurs when a customer claims to be resident for tax purposes of the CBI/RBI jurisdiction to a Bank, instead of his/her real jurisdiction.
He/she can provide the Bank with supporting documentation issued under the CBI/RBI scheme, such as “certificate of residence”, or “passport”.
