A new online course developed by the Online Compliance Consortium USA Core Group
Does this phone call sound familiar?
US Partner: …You can’t be serious. I have known these clients for over 10 years. Whose side are you on any way?
UK Partner: Give me a break! I am on your side, I am on the side of the firm and I am on my side. If I fail to do the required client due diligence and as a result fail to report a suspicion of money laundering, the firm’s international reputation is at stake and I personally can go to prison. So think about your responsibility to the firm and your colleagues and just ask for the documentation.
