AML Policy
An AML policy is a formal document that outlines an organization’s commitment and approach to preventing money laundering and complying with relevant regulations. This policy sets the foundation for the organization’s anti-money laundering (AML) practices and typically includes guidelines on customer due diligence (CDD), transaction monitoring, employee training, and reporting suspicious activities. An AML policy ensures that all staff members understand their responsibilities and helps maintain a culture of compliance.
Developing a comprehensive AML policy is essential for protecting the organization from financial crime risks and regulatory penalties. It should be reviewed and updated regularly to reflect changes in regulations and emerging threats.
