Practical guidance on using best practices and technology to streamline your KYC and CDD processes
Know Your Customer (KYC) & Client Due Diligence (CDD) are at the heart of financial crime risk management within the financial services industry. Regulators are increasingly focused on the quality and appropriateness of KYC & CDD carried out both at client on-boarding and review stage. After many years of legislative pressure, financial services businesses are still wrestling with the challenges presented by complex business models and relationships and this one-day Forum will examine key issues faced by those working within this field.
This KYC & CDD Forum will look at practical ways in which businesses may streamline KYC processes through technology and best practice. Hearing from industry experts, delegates will increase their knowledge and understanding of the Jersey 'obliged persons' regime, implications for KYC of the 4th EU AMLD, how best to use digital screening technologies and how to spot 'red flags' when carrying out KYC & CDD.
With specialist speakers from the local financial services industry, this event will be practical, topical and informative.
Venue: Jersey International Business School
Financial services professionals, specifically those working in compliance and those responsible for client on-boarding.
