Ghana’s Progress in Preventing Money Laundering

=====================================================

I can help you with that.

Based on recent developments, it appears that Ghana has made significant strides in implementing measures to prevent money laundering. Here are the key points:

1. Understanding the Risks

• Ghana has conducted a recent risk assessment within the last three years, involving authorities, business sector, and non-governmental organizations.
• The report identified high-risk areas and recommended additional measures for due diligence.

2. Risk Assessment Report

• The full report is published online on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website.
• It details varied levels of risks (low – high) and areas where these risks abound.
• It foresees an action plan as part of the last phase of the assessment.

3. Beneficial Ownership Information

• Ghana requires legal entities to maintain information on all natural persons who exercise ownership or control of the legal entity.
• The law would require shareholders to declare if control is exercised by a third person and there would be a requirement in place for beneficial owners and shareholders to inform the company when there are changes in ownership.

Recommendations

• Communicate the results of the risk assessment to financial institutions and relevant DNFBPs (Designated Non-Financial Businesses or Professions).
