2. DEFINITIONS
2.2 Act: Financial Intelligence Centre Act No. 38 of 2001 (also known as “FICA”), as
amended by the Financial Intelligence Centre Amendment Act of 2017.
2.3 Controlling ownership interest: refers to the ability by virtue of voting rights
attached to share holdings to take relevant decisions within the legal person and
impose those resolutions.
2.4 Customer Due Diligence: The steps and procedures taken to identify and verify
clients. For the purposes of abbreviation, it is also referred to as “CDD”.
3
2.5 Effective control: means ability to materially influence key decisions in relation to a
legal person (e.g. the manner in which the majority of voting rights attached to
shareholdings are exercised, the appointment of directors of a legal person,
decisions taken by a board of directors, key commercial decisions of a legal person),
or the ability to take advantage of capital or assets of a legal person.
2.6 Financial Intelligence Centre: The Financial Intelligence Centre is South Africa’s
national centre for gathering, analysis and dissemination of financial intelligence. It
was established to identify proceeds of crime, combat money laundering and the
financing of terrorism and, in so doing, has a primary role to protect the integrity of
South Africa’s financial system. For the purposes of abbreviation, it is also referred to
as “FIC”.
2.7 Financial Services Conduct Authority: The Regulatory agency responsible for
non-banking financial services in South Africa. For purposes of abbreviation, it is also
referred to as the “FSCA”.
2.8 Financial Services Provider: Any person (including both natural and juristic
persons) other than a Representative who furnishes advice or who furnishes advice
and renders intermediary services. For the purposes of abbreviation, it can also be
referred to as a “FSP”.
2.9 Law enforcement Agencies: Financial Intelligence Centre, South African Police,
National Prosecuting Authority, Financial Services Conduct Authority.
2.12 Money Laundering: Any process which gives the proceeds of unlawful activities the
appearance that they originate from a legitimate source.
2.13 PIP: Prominent Influential Persons refer to any individuals who are or have in the

prominent positions at any time during the preceding 12 months in a foreign
country.
2.13.2 Domestic Prominent Influential Persons: Individuals who hold or have held

4
2.15 Risk: means the impact and likelihood of ML/TF taking place. Risk refers to inherent
risk, i.e. the level of risk that exists before mitigation. It does not refer to residual risk,
i.e. the level of risk that remains after mitigation.
2.16 Risk factors: means variables that, either on their own or in combination, may
increase or decrease the ML/TF risk posed by a business relationship or single
transaction.
2.19 Source of funds: means the origin of the funds involved in a business relationship or
single transaction. It includes both the activity that generated the funds used in the
business relationship (for example the client’s salary, occupation, business activities,
proceeds of sale, corporate dividends, etc.), as well as the means through which the
client’s funds were transferred.
2.20 Source of wealth: means the activities that have generated the total net worth of the
client that is, the activities that produced the client’s funds and property (for example
inheritance or savings).
2.21 Tipping-off: Any instance where an individual within the FSP (including its
Associates) discloses information to someone outside of the approved reporting
chain and, in so doing, the information could potentially prejudice an investigation
into money-laundering.
3.1 In terms of the FICA Amendments, AI’s will have flexibility to construct and tailor their
risk management framework for the purpose of developing risk-based systems and
controls and mitigation strategies in a manner that is most appropriate to their
business structure (including financial resources and staff), their products and/or the
services they provide.
3.2 Such risk-based systems and controls should be proportionate to the ML&TF risk(s)
an AI reasonably faces. The risk management framework aims to assist AI’s to
develop and implement their AML&CFT programs in compliance with the existing
legal and regulatory requirements and international standards and best practices.
3.3 For effective risk management, the AI should at all levels follow the principles below:
3.3.3 Risk management helps decision makers making informed choices, prioritize
actions and distinguish among alternative courses of action.
3.3.4 Risk management explicitly takes account of uncertainty, the nature of that
uncertainty, and how it can be addressed.
3.3.7 Risk management is aligned with the AI's external and internal context and risk
profile.
3.3.9 Risk management is dynamic and responsive to change. Following the above
mentioned principles the AI is expected to develop and maintain logical,
comprehensive and systematic methods to address each of the components
referred to above and that such methods and the AI’s approach to ML&TF risk
are understood, implemented and maintained, to some appropriate extent,
within their organizations.
3.3.10 The AI would be expected to demonstrate that their risk based systems and
controls are suitable to their particular business and consistent with prudent
and good practices.
3.3.11 In assessing and mitigating ML& TF risk, the FIs should consider a wide range
of financial products and services, which are associated with different ML& TF
risks.
The Risk Management & Compliance Programme (“RMCP”) encompasses the processes
and procedures employed by the FSP and its Associates to identify, assess, monitor,
mitigate and manage any risks related to money laundering and the financing of terrorist
activities.
An FSP may interact with a broad client base encompassing natural and legal entity,
both within and outside the Republic of South Africa. The client base can broadly be
classified into two groups:
6
4.1.1 Direct Clients
In the normal course of business, direct clients contact the FSP directly, without
the assistance of an intermediary, such as a brokerage or investment
institution. The FSP assumes direct responsibility for the risk assessments,
AML procedures, record keeping and reporting obligations applicable to these
clients.
The FSP may interact with a number of Broker-Engaged Clients, each with
their own client base. The FSP will rely on the AML/CFT policies and
procedures of the institutions concerned to identify and verify Broker-Engaged
Clients. While the FSP primarily rely on these policies and procedures, periodic
reviews will be conducted to ensure continued compliance to the Act.
4.2.1 Due to the broad scope of the aforementioned client base, it is not practical to
determine whether prospective clients intend to establish long-term business
relationships or conclude single transactions with the FSP. The FSP chooses to
focus primarily on Customer Due Diligence and the associated reporting
obligations.
4.2.2 The FSP shall treat all prospective or new clients as low risk until factors
indicate otherwise.
4.2.3 Factors which will escalate a client’s risk rating include, but are not limited to
the following:
4.2.3.6 The client invests more than R25 000 (in total) during the course of a
year or the client’s portfolio market value exceeds R25 000 during the
year.
7
4.3 Principle of “Good Faith”
4.3.1 The FSP extend “good faith” to all its clients – whether new or existing – in that
clients are deemed to have legitimate sources of funds and they have
legitimate business reasons for making use of the FSP’s services. In the
absence of evidence to the contrary, “good faith” will always be extended to
clients.
4.3.2 In a similar vein, when a client chooses to withdraw business from the FSP, the
FSP shall continue to extend “good faith”, deeming that the withdrawal of
business has been made on the basis of honest and legitimate reasons. Where
appropriate, client agreements may require a client certification that they will be
responsible for their own reporting obligations and that their initial and
subsequent funds are not the proceeds of criminal activities.
4.3.3 However, in the interests of “good faith”, the FSP will not establish relationships
with any individual or entity that will expose the reputation of the FSP to risk.
This is done to protect not only the good name of the FSP but also the names
of the clients associated with the FSP.
4.3.5 All employees involved in the termination of the business relationship must co-
ordinate the termination with the Money Laundering Officer of the FSP. The
MLRO will in turn liaise with law enforcement agencies before communicating
the FSP’s intention to terminate the client relationship.
4.4.1.1 Prospective clients desiring to transact with the FSP are required to
complete the necessary application form(s) to facilitate their investments.
Each application form requires a number of supporting documents to be
provided pertaining to the prospective client’s identity. Acceptable forms,
as per Annexure 2 of verification form the basis of the FSP’s CDD
processes.
8
4.4.1.2 Upon receipt of the completed applications and supporting documents,
the information is reviewed to ensure consistency, completeness and
accuracy.
4.4.1.3 Should the FSP be in any way dissatisfied with the provided
documentation, have any doubts as to the identity of the prospective
client, be unable to resolve any noted inconsistencies or should the
prospective client be unwilling to provide the required supporting
documents, the FSP shall not establish a business relationship with the
prospective client, or conclude any transactions on their behalf. Subject
to the circumstances involved, the FSP reserves the right to file a
Suspicious & Unusual Transaction Report with the Financial Intelligence
Centre.
4.4.1.4 After the initial application and acceptance, a client will be screened
against a number of watch lists, as detailed in Annexure 3, on an ongoing
basis to identify:
4.4.1.5 Any client, as identified by the United Nations Security Council, shall
remain a client of the FSP. Once identified, such a client will be subject to
a Suspicious and Unusual Transaction Report and the FSP shall cease
any and all transactions with the sanctioned client, including concluding
transactions on their behalf, as required by Section 26B of the Act.
4.4.1.6 Any client found to be concluding transactions under a false identity will
be subject to a Suspicious and Unusual Transaction Report and the FSP
shall cease any and all transactions with the sanctioned client, including
concluding transactions on their behalf, as required by Section 20A of the
Act.
4.4.1.7 Should the FSP at any time doubt the veracity of the provided FICA
documentation, the FSP reserves the right to request FICA
documentation as detailed in Annexure 2.
4.4.2.2 It is the manual of the FSP and its Associates to conduct on-site reviews
of a Broker-Engaged Client’s FICA processes. On-site reviews will be
conducted at the discretion of the Compliance department. The on-site
review process is outlined as follows:
4.4.2.2.2 The Broker-Engaged Client will be contacted and the time and date
of the review will be arranged. The Broker-Engaged Client will be
given sufficient time to compile the auditing sample and any
supporting documentation.
10
4.4.3.2 Additional procedures include:
4.4.3.2.4 Continue screening identified PIPs against the sanction watch lists,
as detailed in Annexure 3. The full list of PIPs is detailed in
Annexure 4.
5.1.1 The FSP recognises that they has a legal duty to protect the confidentiality of
their clients. However, the FSP will release any and all required information to
law enforcement agencies in the course of reporting and investigating
suspicious business activities.
5.1.2 The FSP will not hesitate to report knowledge or suspicion of criminal conduct
where it is legally obligated to do so. The FSP recognise that failing to do so
would constitute an offence. In reporting suspicious and illegal activities, the
FSP will make full use of the protection afforded by legislation to reporters. This
legislation effectively protects any reporting entity. They cannot be charged with
assisting criminal endeavours.
5.1.3 The MLRO will serve as the FSP’s primary contact when meeting with law
enforcement agencies. When meeting with the aforementioned agencies, the
MLRO may include the Section 43 Compliance Officer and/or Senior
Management.
5.1.4 The FSP have also placed procedures in place to reduce the risk of an
employee tipping-off a client or any other person with whom they are in contact.
Tipping-off is a criminal offence that carries heavy penalties, both for the FSP
(as accountable institutions) and the offending employee (in his/her individual
capacity).
5.2.1 No action – criminal or civil – can be brought against the FSP (as accountable
institutions) or any of its employees (as individuals) for complying in good faith
with the provisions of the Act.
11
5.2.2 Any person who has made, initiated or contributed to a report in terms of the
Act is not obligated to give evidence in criminal proceedings.
5.2.3 The identity of any person who has made, initiated or contributed to a report in
terms of the Act will not be admissible as evidence in criminal proceedings
unless the person testifies at those proceedings.
5.3.1 The FSP have implemented a strict reporting process to report any and all
suspicious activity that may be identified during the ordinary course of
business. This process has been laid out in detail in the pages to follow. Any
deviation from this process will require the approval of the Board of Directors.
5.3.2 The FSP and its Associates will never take on a Direct Client who is a PIP.
5.3.3 STAGES:
5.3.3.1 Stage 1
5.3.3.2 Stage 2
5.3.3.2.1 Stage two requires that the staff member complete an “Anti-Money
Laundering Report”. A template of this report can be found in
Annexure 6. It is very important that the staff member explains
his/her reasons for suspecting a given transaction in full detail.
5.3.3.2.2 Once the report has been filled out, the staff member should
present the report to the Head of their Business Unit. They will
discuss the facts, review the report and, where appropriate, add
additional information about the client or transaction if it is relevant
to the matter under consideration. All staff members involved in
discussing the report must sign the report to acknowledge that they
are suspicious of the transaction. If a staff member suspects the
Head of the Business Unit to be involved with the suspicious activity
under consideration, the MLRO should be contacted immediately.
If, the MLRO is suspected, the staff member should speak directly
with Senior Management.
5.3.3.2.3 Suspicions must not be discussed with anyone other than those
mentioned above. Once the reporting process has commenced, it
must be followed through to completion, even if the original
12
suspicion does not exist. All reports will be kept on file by the MLRO
for record-keeping and referral purposes.
5.3.3.2.5 Once the report has been finalised, it must be presented to the
MLRO who in turn will acknowledge its receipt in writing. The staff
member will then receive guidance from the MLRO on how to
proceed with the client in question. In particular, if the client
demands that subsequent transactions be executed, the situation
must be discussed with the MLRO before any action is taken. In
certain cases, the MLRO may decide to allow transactions to
continue in order not to raise the client’s suspicions. Regardless,
the MLRO should be kept informed of all subsequent dealings with
the client.
5.3.3.3 Stage 3
When the MLRO files a report concerning suspicious transactions with the
Financial Intelligence Centre, any person involved in the making and
submission of that report may not disclose the nature of the report or any
information related to it to any other person.
13
5.3.5 Record keeping related to reports
5.3.5.1 Records are kept to provide an audit trail and adequate evidence to law
enforcement agencies during the course of their investigations. However,
these records will only be provided at the request of law enforcement
agencies.
5.3.5.2 All records will be kept for at least 5 (five) years from the date of the last
transaction on the account.
6. TIPPING-OFF
6.1.1 “Tipping-off” is an offence in terms of the Act. Any employee of the FSP who
discloses information to someone outside the internal reporting chain of the
FSP, potentially prejudicing an investigation into money laundering activities,
will be guilty of “tipping-off”.
6.1.3 Any employee who has been found to have deliberately acted against the
provisions of this manual – including tipping-off clients – will be subject to the
internal disciplinary procedures and Code of Conduct of the FSP as well as the
potential penalties as detailed in legislation.
6.1.4 For an employee to be guilty of “tipping-off”, they must have had knowledge of
or suspected that a money laundering investigation was about to be conducted.
An employee would be aware of a pending investigation because:
14
6.1.4.2 A court order has been served or is about to be served by a law
enforcement agency compelling the production of documents and/or
information.
7. STAFF TRAINING
7.1.1 All employees of the FSP, whether permanent or temporary, will receive anti-
money laundering training necessary to their job function within the FSP.
Training will be provided by the Compliance department.
7.1.2 All employees have been made aware of the offences detailed in the legislation
for non-reporting, tipping-off and consciously or unconsciously assisting money
launderers. As such, they have also been made aware of their responsibilities,
both as individuals within their respective business units and as employees of
the FSP.
7.1.3 All staff are required to sign a register when attending the training sessions.
Each staff member attending the session will receive a copy of the latest
version of this Manual as well as the accompanying explanatory notes. The
signed register will be kept in the Compliance department.
This Manual may be updated from time to time in line with changes to legislation or to
better improve the anti-money laundering processes of the FSP. An updated version
of the Manual will be made available to staff, either through internal communications
or the FSP’s website.
15
7.3 Disciplinary Proceedings
All cash transactions exceeding R24 999-00 will be automatically reported to the
MLRO.
All cross border conveyance and electronic transfers to and from the Republic of
Soth Africa over R24 999-00 will automatically be reported to the MLRO.
8.4 Any property connected to an offence relating to the financing of terrorist and related
activities or any property directly connected to terrorist and related activities will be
automatically reported to the MLRO.
8.5 All client records will be checked against the United Nations Security Council
Sanctions list and any client who is found to be connected with the financing of
terrorist and related activities will be automatically reported to the MLRO.
9. RECORD KEEPING
9.1.1 The FSP will retain all documentation detailing transfers in and out of client
accounts, including any and all supporting documents. These documents will
be kept on file to provide an audit trail for the money transfers and, should the
need ever arise, provide adequate evidence for law enforcement agencies
during the course of their investigations.
9.1.2 If and when the FSP receive a court order requiring documents or other
information for the use of law enforcement agencies, all staff members must
co-operate and assist the MLRO in complying with the court order.
9.1.3 Documents will be kept on file according to the time periods dictated by local
legislation. The minimum retention periods for documentation are as follows:
16
9.1.3.1 Opening Account Records – These records will be kept on a permanent
file for as long as the business relationship continues between the client
and the FSP. Should the relationship be terminated, documents will be
kept on file for at least 5 years after the last transaction or closure of the
account.
9.1.4 If the FSP is aware that a money laundering investigation is currently being
conducted by law enforcement agencies, all records relating to the client and
the account under investigation must be kept on file until advised otherwise by
the investigating authorities. The MLRO will be responsible for managing such
situations, should they arise.
Documents that are required under a court order must be retrieved and produced for
inspection within a reasonable period of time, as stipulated by the court order, from
the date the court order was served. Electronic records are also acceptable.
