Explanation/Reference:

Money laundering has severe social and economic impacts, including increased crime rates, corruption and erosion of public trust. Money laundering fuels criminal activities by providing the necessary financial resources for criminals to continue their operations. As illicit funds circulate within the financial system, they enable the growth of criminal organizations and contribute to an increase in crime rates, including organized crime1. Money laundering also facilitates corruption and undermines public trust in financial institutions and the wider economy. This erosion of public trust is exacerbated by trade-based money laundering, which involves the manipulation of international trade transactions to disguise the origins of illicit funds2. Money laundering also weakens financial institutions by exposing them to reputational, operational, legal and regulatory risks. Money launderers exploit the vulnerabilities of financial systems and compromise their integrity and stability. Money laundering can also distort the allocation of resources, create inflationary pressures, and undermine the effectiveness of monetary policy3.

A TCSP providing services should have policies and procedures in place to identify critical information of the signatory, as this is one of the key elements of the customer due diligence (CDD) process. The signatory is the person who has the authority to sign documents or contracts on behalf of the customer, such as a company, a trust, or a partnership. The signatory may also be the beneficial owner, the controller, or a nominee of the customer. The TCSP should verify the identity and the capacity of the signatory, as well as the source and origin of the funds or assets involved in the transaction or business relationship. The TCSP should also monitor the activities of the signatory and report any suspicious or unusual transactions or changes in the signatory's behaviour or profile.
