AML Policy Documentation in Singapore

Businesses in Singapore must comply with the various laws enforced in the country to curb the evils of corruption, money laundering, terrorism financing, and other related financial crimes.

These regulations lay down the methodology the companies are expected to follow to identify and assess ML risks and deploy measures to mitigate the same. These laws provide the overall guide while necessitating the companies to detail their policies and procedures, aligned to these laws, which facilitates them to detect such ML threats and assess their impact on the business. Such documentation should also include relevant and effective controls to mitigate or eliminate risks while safeguarding their business operations from being exploited by the money launderers.

To comply with these regulations and protect your business from ML risks, you must develop a comprehensive and robust AML compliance and monitoring framework. This framework will include relevant policies, processes, procedures, controls, manuals, forms, and documentation requirements. It will consist of KYC and CDD forms, data protection measures, risk assessment, and mitigation measures.
