<\/a>The Eastern Regional Chapter of the Association of Rural and Community Banks (RCBs) has called on the ARB- Apex Bank Limited, to sensitise the banks on anti-money laundering and terrorist financing.<\/p>\nThe association also urged the ARB Apex Bank to appoint an Anti-Money Laundering officer within the RCBs structure.<\/p>\n
This was contained in a communiqu\u00e9 issued in Koforidua on Wednesday after a day\u2019s seminar on Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML\/CFT).<\/p>\n
The communiqu\u00e9, which was read by Mr Festus Ofosu, Executive member of the association, appealed to the ARB Apex Bank to liaise with the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC), to fight money laundering in Ghana and appoint Anti-Money Laundering (AML)\/ FIC liaison officer.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll RCBs are to appoint AML compliance officers with names submitted to ARB- Apex Bank Limited.\u201d<\/p>\n
It called on the FIC to organise similar seminars throughout the country to train managers.<\/p>\n
It expressed the need for non-governmental organisations and other institutions to benefit from FIC training to create awareness in the fight against money laundering.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndividuals indentified as Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) must be considered as such throughout his or her life.\u201d<\/p>\n
It urged boards\/management to be notified promptly when a PEP is identified so as to make the decision whether to continue the business relationship with such a customer or not.<\/p>\n
\u201cBanks must have a risk based approach to AML\/CFT.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis approach should analyse Know Your Customers and Know Your Employees profile for customers and make a classification by level of risk-low, moderate and high.<\/p>\n
\u201cEmployees of low and moderate risk may be engaged but high risk employees are unacceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n
