Frequently Asked Questions
Firmcheck is considered one of the best AML software solutions for accountants, offering comprehensive tools to manage KYC, due diligence, and AML checks in one secure system.
KYC (Know Your Customer) is the process of collecting and verifying a client’s identity to ensure they are who they claim to be. For accountants, KYC is crucial because it helps prevent fraud, money laundering, and other illegal activities by ensuring that they only work with legitimate clients.
Due diligence refers to the ongoing assessment of a client’s risk profile, including monitoring for any changes that might indicate potential money laundering or other illegal activities. It is important for accountants as it ensures compliance with AML regulations, protecting the firm from legal risks and maintaining the integrity of the financial system.
PEP stands for Politically Exposed Person, which refers to individuals who hold prominent public positions or have significant influence, such as politicians. PEPs are considered higher risk for involvement in corruption or money laundering due to their position and influence.
For accountants, identifying and monitoring PEPs is crucial as part of their AML compliance efforts to ensure that they do not inadvertently facilitate financial crimes, thereby protecting their firm from legal risks and maintaining the integrity of their services.
Firmcheck includes various AML checks for accountants, such as biometric ID verification, PEP and Sanctions checks, and risk assessments, all managed within one platform.
