Global organizations must ensure their policies and procedures comply with local laws and regulations in each country where they operate, even when maintaining group-wide consistency. Relying solely on international or U.S. standards does not ensure compliance with all local requirements, which may be more stringent or specific.
"A global group-wide program should ensure adherence to local AML and sanctions laws and regulations in every jurisdiction in which it operates. Local adaptation of policies is essential to address jurisdiction- specific risks and legal requirements." (CAMS 6th Edition, International AML/CFT Standards; FATF Recommendations 18, 35; EU & US Sanctions Regulations) References:

Real estate transactions are vulnerable to ML/TF risks, particularly when there is limited transparency or unusual payment methods:
* Cross-border purchases (A):"Purchases by foreign buyers, especially from high-risk jurisdictions, are a red flag for money laundering in the real estate sector."(CAMS 6th Edition, Real Estate Money Laundering Risks; FATF, Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing through the Real Estate Sector,
2007)
* Non-financed purchases (D):"Non-financed (all-cash) purchases can indicate the introduction of illicit funds into the financial system, bypassing the controls of mortgage lenders."(CAMS 6th Edition, Real Estate ML/TF Risks) Incorrect Options:
* B: Purchasing in the name of a natural person is standard and not inherently risky.
* C: Paying the true market price does not raise ML/TF risk.

定期進行企業範圍的風險評估 (EWRA) 是識別、評估和緩解金融犯罪風險的最有效方法。它確保評估反洗錢、反恐怖融資、制裁、詐欺、反洗錢和逃稅等領域的所有固有風險，評估現有控制措施，並識別剩餘風險。這種全面的視角有助於制定符合監管預期的、有凝聚力且積極主動的風險管理策略。

作為基於風險的盡職調查方法的一部分，銀行應根據每位客戶的風險評估等級，採取量身定制的盡職調查措施。這可確保資源集中用於最需要的地方，而不是對所有客戶採取統一的強化措施，因為這樣做效率低且不必要。

貿易融資的危險信號包括帳戶活動與帳戶聲明的目的不一致、交易結構過於複雜、措辭不當或使用外語的貿易文件可能掩蓋細節，以及發票價格遠高於市場價值，這些都可能表明存在基於貿易的洗錢或欺詐行為。
