Abstract
The AML/CFT compliance function is central to banks or financial institutions’ AML/CFT efforts. The AML/CFT compliance officer should ensure that adequate policies and procedures are put in place, kept up to date and implemented effectively on an ongoing basis. Relevant information should be accessible by the banking group’s head office for the purpose of enforcing group AML/CFT policies and procedures. The bank’s group-wide policies and procedures should take into account issues and obligations related to local data protection and privacy laws and regulations.
