What is Fica?
Act 38 of 2001 (“Fica”) was introduced in South Africa to govern financial intelligence and to assist in the combating of financial crime. The recent Amendment Act to Fica is intended to enhance and modernise our South African framework in accor-dance with the latest approaches of the international community. All entities classified as “accountable institutions” in terms of Fica must comply with Fica, which includes the latest amendments thereto.
The key amendment introduced is a shift from a rules-based approach to a risk-based approach in ensuring Fica compliance, which simply means that accountable institutions must consider the potential risk involved with establishing a business relationship or concluding a single transaction with a particular client. Accountable institutions are obliged to conduct “client due diligence” (“CDD”) to establish and verify the identities of their clients. Essentially you are required to know who your client is with whom you are doing business. The Amendment Act now imposes enhanced measures relating to ongoing CDD and the monitoring of business relationships, as well as obligations in respect of prominent and influential persons.
The Amendment Act also introduces additional due diligence measures relating to legal persons, trusts and partnerships. Client due diligence processes will therefore need to be reviewed by every accountable institution.
