In particular, legal practitioners must have established adequate CDD procedures, including client and matter level risk assessment to identify and manage risks associated with Money Laundering (“ML”), Terrorist Financing (“TF”) and Proliferation Financing (“PF”). Therefore, this form was designed to serve as a practical example of how the client risk assessment could be undertaken and documented.\nThe CDD Form is a learning tool only and it is not a prescribed requirement or a formal guideline. In particular, as there are different ways to meet the PDP and AMLO requirements, the examples stated in the CDD Form may differ from the existing practices of law firms, especially those with an established AML framework. As such, the CDD Form is not intended to compel, suggest or advise changes to those existing practices.\nThe CDD Form is designed to produce an AML risk rating score based on a number of factors that would assist legal practitioners with classifying clients as Low / Medium / High to understand what level of CDD is required to be applied (Simplified/Standard/Enhanced). When weighting risk factors, legal practitioners should take a holistic approach and make an informed judgement about the relevance of different risk factors in the context of a particular client relationship or occasional matter. The weight given to each factor is likely to vary across practices, clients and matters, the high-risk triggers included in the CDD Form are not exhaustive and legal practitioners should consider all individual AML risks applicable to each client or matter. There is no prescribed approach to conducting client risk assessments, however they must be written down, monitored and refreshed depending on the client’s risk rating categorization to reflect changing risks or information about the client.\n*Note: If not, please contact the client to verify if there are any changes to the client’s information or circumstances initially provided. Based on the information obtained from the client, conduct client screening (if required). After completion, please attach the review result in the client file.\n*Note: If yes, you must obtain copies of the client identification and verification documents from the specified intermediary and keep as a record in the client file. Where the intermediary is an overseas office of the firm, you must in all circumstances obtain client’s ID information, and have an access to copies of other client identification and verification documents upon request.\n\u000f\n\u000f\nML / TF RISK RATING METHODOLOGY","cbCaicflWsMKNrR6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicflWsMKNrR6","docx",144442,8,"English","# Client Due Diligence Form (CDD Form)\n## Purpose and scope for legal practitioners\n## AML risk rating methodology and documentation requirements\n## Notes on client information verification and records\n## ML/TF risk rating methodology","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the CDD Form for natural persons?\",\"answer\":\"It provides legal practitioners with examples of how to undertake and document client risk assessment to meet requirements under the Practice Direction P and AMLO.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the CDD Form help classify clients and determine CDD level?\",\"answer\":\"It produces an AML risk rating score based on multiple factors to classify clients as Low, Medium, or High, which informs whether Simplified, Standard, or Enhanced CDD is required.\"},{\"question\":\"Is there a single prescribed approach to conducting client risk assessments?\",\"answer\":\"No. Legal practitioners should take a holistic approach, weigh relevant factors in context, write down the assessment, monitor it, and refresh it as risks or information change.\"}]","Client Due Diligence Form - Natural Persons - June 2023 | DOCX",1788330382]
