This Audit Practice Bulletin issued by the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority on 15 November 2018 provides an update on two areas of development for audit firms to note when complying with Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism requirements:
- ACRA has developed a common CDD form which both professional intermediaries such as audit firms and corporate service providers (comprising registered filing agents and registered qualified individuals) may use as part of the CDD process;
- The Suspicious Transaction Reporting Office (STRO) has launched a new electronic filing platform for the purpose of filing Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs).
