AML Compliance for Small Businesses on Christmas Island: How Alessa Can Help
As a small business owner on Christmas Island, you may think that anti-money laundering (AML) compliance only applies to large financial institutions. However, this is not the case. Many non-financial businesses are still subject to certain AML requirements, and failing to comply can result in severe penalties.
The Risks of Non-Compliance
Non-financial businesses are particularly vulnerable to money laundering and terrorist financing due to their lack of robust risk profiling and customer due diligence capabilities. Without effective identity verification and CDD processes in place, fraudulent activities can occur at the expense of your business, resulting in reputational damage, fines, and even imprisonment.
