A compliance officer Is assigned a group of customers. Which action should the officer fake to determinethe appropriate level of customer due diligence apply to each customer?
A.
Assess only the money laundering risks posed by customer location
B.
Examine what Threshold for occasional transactions can be set for each customer.
C.
Implement the same COD measures for each customer.
D.
Take into account all risk variables such as me purpose of the account or relationship
A risk-based approach to customer due diligence requires considering all relevant risk factors including customer profile, the nature and purpose of the account or relationship, geographic risks, transaction patterns, and other relevant factors. This ensures that CDD intensity is commensurate with assessed risk.
Assessing only location (A) or transaction thresholds (B) is insufficient alone. Applying uniform CDD measures (C) contradicts the risk-based approach advocated by FATF and DFSA regulations.
DFSA AML guidance explicitly requires comprehensive risk assessment considering multiple variables to determine appropriate due diligence levels.
