NEW GROUND WON’T BREAK ITSELF

Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals.

The Client Take-on and Continuance (CTOC) team are responsible for gathering information and documentation to identify, verify and assist the risk assessment of the firm’s clients.

Client due diligence (CDD) forms part of the overall take-on process undertaken by the Firm, alongside Relationship Checking. CDD includes verifying information as far as possible so that the true identities of the Firm’s client and any beneficial owners are known (through collecting information and documentation from reliable and independent sources), and PEPs/Sanctions/Adverse Media Screening.

The Identification/Verification and Screening processes then enables a Financial Crime Risk Assessment to be undertaken with the objective of making informed decisions about a client’s acceptability in line with the Firm’s Risk Appetite by escalating to the Financial Crime Team if there are heightened risks that require approval.
