Panama Papers Fallout Will Stress Anti Money Laundering Compliance
The scale of the documents hacker Panama can not be underestimated. The number of fictitious companies identified is approximately 214,000 and the hundreds of thousands of people behind him includes impressive names of politicians and business magnates of international celebrities like Emma Watson.
To reflect the increase in interrogations and investigations into documents Panama Hack, people need "legal" and issuers, financial institutions and processors must "Gear-Up" for expected at work peaks related to due diligence a more accurate tracking of transactions, payments and sanctions filtering, any ad-hoc review and possible fines.
As these discussions about sanctions, monitoring (TM), and knowing your heating system customer (KYC), for best operation, we witness the gradual changes.
systems of sanctions and watch lists associated monitoring will be updated with new data from flight documents Panama
These improvements in monitoring sanctions to temporarily increase the internal and external resources between banks to manage the workload to navigate tight research and best practices.
Banks revise and update the lists of domestic surveillance, new watch lists to be created and existing between the governing bodies fall under a microscope this case (and others). Come July, the Panama may be on a list of uncooperative tax havens by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) it can be reactivated at the request of the G-20, according to Le Monde.
Regulators at bay eagerly waiting to see who and what they can be fined. Take, for example, the Financial Intelligence Unit of Europol. The organization has recently been established in January 2016 and is one of several indications that there is growing national and political interest around fictitious companies and the role they play in the fight against money laundering and the activity of evasion of taxes.
Panama documents the next day will also be a corresponding impact bank and the third identification of the entity, with the possibility of monitoring transactions (TM) retrospective review of the newly identified correspondent banking entities. This issue poses enormous gaps in coverage of money laundering (AML) against money laundering and the increased risk of audit gaps and possible measures resulting for global banks.
To help global banks to mitigate risk and maintain compliance with the requirements of existing compliance and out of the fray with restless regulators, forensic accounts will be found very busy and recruited by financial institutions. The big banks and financial institutions already have a set of criteria to follow, but following documents Panama, banks can expect to have stricter guidelines to follow as well as a set of procedures KYC and research updates and tighter.
But the question is, how are these KYC and AML compliance regulations, and government bodies that enforce these checks and balances? Following documents Panama will not have to be extensive revisions and updates made by customers for all. As mentioned above, the cost of the declaration of the "innocence" will be costly and people and companies can make a major blow to its reputation.
Panama has emerged scenario papers because this is an increasingly global economy and in the treatment of other banks places, not all meet the same standards. Panama, like the Cayman Islands and Nigeria are among the places where financial institutions seek or maintain limited documentation. This can sometimes be misleading about what information is constant and therefore it is difficult to find the true owners of a company, that company is doing, and it works.
While the challenges are something KYC banks within the European Union and the United States have faced for centuries, flight Panama has brought a new light. USA Bank regulators and issue "look back" orders - which the US government requires a filtering process looking through past records to determine that the company does business with, and the person or company are involved - to verify and approve the activity moving forward. What the newspapers of Panama actually made with KYC is to encourage more banks to adopt the concept of "look back" and do it with the ladder. Companies that specialize in managing change and help businesses navigate financial compliance and regulatory discussions, as TFG and Ernst & Young, will work with banks to help improve capacity and knowledge requirements of the customer.
Already, banks have moved to mark transactions and / or block directly associated Mossack Fonseca. While we wait to hear if Mossack Fonseca has committed a crime, the nature of being as prolific of these companies Shell Offshore generator and questionable accounting advisory services grows profile high or very high risk. In some cases too high for some institutions, forcing companies to navigate and KYC processes and internal policies regarding how customers are classified.
In short, it is reasonable to assume that US regulators revise their expectations to a third party and appointed foreign entity identification. They expect institutions to accommodate revealed the list of entities associated with them in their persons KYC, customer due diligence, politically exposed (PEP), and transaction monitoring and evaluation process.
This benchmark leak in financial services comes at a time when the entire industry is under review. We are still working on the impact of the financial crisis of 2008, examining how we can prevent companies from becoming "too big to fail" and focus more on technology and more knowledgeable about improving transparency, compliance solutions, and as always, the bottom line.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) plans to publish continuously the companies involved in the known documents of Panama, then we can expect that this space - and the debate (and the need for more intelligent solutions and greater transparency) on sanctions, TM and KYC - just to get warm.
