Roles of MLRO in Monitoring AML CFT Measures, FATF Requirements, TMS, High Risk Customers and Accounts, Reporting etc.

Prevention of Money Laundering (ML) and Terrorist Financing (TF) is a challenge for World Financial Systems and Financial Institutions including banks, MSBs, Payment Gateways, DNFBPs, and other regulated entities.

Millions of dollars are spent by financial institutions, to maintain Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Countering Financing of Terrorism (CFT) Framework of the institution. This is due to the fact that various banks are penalized in the past due to poor customer due diligence CDD and AML/ CFT monitoring, which caused criminals to use the financial system of the banks to hide and transfer their illegal funds.

All businesses within the regulated financial services are required to appoint a dedicated Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO). MLRO is also known as the nominated officer.

In the prevention of Money laundering and terrorist financing activities, the Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) plays a significant role. MLRO acts as a focal point for queries related to Anti Money Laundering measures and MLRO is supposed to manage the AML system to ensure that Financial Crimes are prevented.

An international organization such as Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and AML / CFT Regulations have issued recommendations and regulatory requirements, regarding AML / CFT Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Monitoring, which MLRO with a team ensure to implement in an organization.

Organizations need to know about certain key questions, before appointing an MLRO for the business such as:

• Who should be the MLRO?

• What qualifications and level of expertise the MLRO should have?

• What MLRO is supposed to do to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing?
