自10月中旬起,开曼群岛金融管理局(CIMA)已开始针对所有受监管行业开展反洗钱非现场审查(AML desk-based reviews)。
审查初期重点将聚焦于业务风险评估及其配套评估方案;
受监管实体需在5个工作日内作出回应;
基金应确保其业务风险评估及相关评估方案为现行有效版本、已经治理机构批准,并可随时向CIMA提交。
非现场审查是CIMA风险为本监管框架的组成部分,并将重点评估受监管实体的反洗钱(AML)合规方案在实际运作中的有效性。CIMA表示,非现场审查将适用于风险较低的实体;对于风险较高的实体,则可视情况在两次现场检查的间隔期间开展。尽管投资基金无需接受现场检查,但亦被纳入此次非现场审查范围。
该项举措紧随近期实施的两项新规则:
《金融服务提供商防范和识别洗钱、恐怖主义融资及扩散融资之有效合规方案规则》
《金融制裁及定向金融制裁合规规则》
有关上述规则的更多介绍,请参阅我们此前发布的客户简报。
本文重点介绍上述措施可能对受监管投资基金产生的影响,但相关原则同样适用于其他受监管实体。
反洗钱非现场审查是由CIMA以远程方式开展的监管审查。与全面且耗时较长的现场检查不同,CIMA将向投资基金发出通知函,要求其提供特定文件以供审阅。CIMA明确表示,初步审查重点将集中于业务风险评估及其评估方法,要求在5个工作日内答复。
完成审查后,CIMA可能提出审查发现、要求在指定期限内进行整改;若反复出现同类问题,CIMA可酌情采取进一步监管措施。
将业务风险评估作为核查重点,与开曼群岛反洗钱监管制度体系的整体要求相契合。该制度要求金融服务提供商评估并记录自身所面临的洗钱、恐怖主义融资、扩散融资以及制裁相关风险,并将业务风险评估作为其风险为本反洗钱框架的基础,以指导以下事项:
反洗钱控制措施的制定
治理与监督安排
投资人与投资标的尽职调查及监控措施
反洗钱独立审计的范围及频次
通常而言,投资基金的业务风险评估由其反洗钱合规官(AML Compliance Officer)负责维护,并由治理机构进行监督并提供意见。
尽管业务风险评估内容的专业性较强,并应根据投资基金的具体情况量身制定,但通常应考虑:
投资人特定风险
地域及司法管辖区风险(包括与投资人及投资标的相关风险)
产品、服务及交易风险
服务渠道风险,包括运用科技及远程客户准入流程产生的风险
外包风险
需要特别注意的是,投资基金不仅应确保业务风险评估本身已经制定,还应确保支持相关风险评级及结论的评估方法得到充分记录,并能够向CIMA作出解释,包括对固有风险、风险缓释因素及剩余风险的分析。
鉴于非现场审查预计要求在较短时间内作出回应,且审查重点集中于业务风险评估,投资基金首先应确保其风险评估文件为最新版本,并确保其评估方法及治理机构的批准记录能够随时调取。
我们建议基金先联系其反洗钱合规官,就基金的业务风险评估以及对应的评估方法进行讨论。
投资基金亦可考虑审阅以下事项:
确认反洗钱与制裁合规政策及程序已按照最新要求进行复核并更新
确认反洗钱留存记录能够快速调取出示,以证明相关合规情况,包括决议文件、服务提供商协议、客户尽职调查材料以及交易筛查记录,即使相关文件由基金管理人及行政管理人保存
确认治理架构、岗位职责,及上报路径均已清晰记录
确保有关审计频次及审计范围的任何决定,均有投资基金已记录在案的业务风险评估作为依据。
反洗钱非现场审查的启动表明,CIMA明确要求开曼群岛投资基金建立设计适当、记录完善且在实际运作中有效执行的反洗钱合规方案。
如您尚未建立业务风险评估方案,或认为现有安排可能无法满足CIMA的要求,奥杰可协助审阅现有安排,或准备所需的相关文件。
我们的专业团队能够审阅贵方的反洗钱文件、风险评估报告及治理安排,确保贵方为应对CIMA非现场审查做好充分准备。
