A risk sensitive or risk-based approach is where businesses assess the risk of candidates laundering money through their business. Businesses may take the starting point that most candidates will not launder money but will identify criteria that would indicate a higher risk of money laundering \u2013 e.g. where there is no face-to-face meeting to establish identity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How we manage the risk JobContax is committed to staff training in anti-money laundering legislation and this is also covered as a part of the Induction training courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">JobContax Directors have responsibility to receive and review internal reports regarding suspicious behaviours and will forward reports to necessary authorities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Identification Procedures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adherence to the \u201cDue Diligence\u201d identification procedures on every occasion will mitigate the risks of our business being used to launder money or fund terrorism. All candidates who are placed by JobContax must be identified fully with evidence of identity being photographic. Should a face to face meeting not take place then enhanced due diligence procedures will need to be adopted by asking for additional information or evidence to establish the candidate\u2019s identity and ensuring that the documents supplied are certified.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the verification of the candidate\u2019s identity is done by documents this should be based on a government issued document with the candidate\u2019s full name and photo with either the candidate\u2019s date of birth or residential address such as:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Valid passport<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Valid photocard driving licence<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. National identity card&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proof of address may be checked by requesting:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. A utility bill&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Bank or building society statement&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Most recent mortgage statement from a recognised lender&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For candidates other than private individuals&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For candidates who are not private individuals, such as corporate candidates and private companies, the business must obtain information that is relevant e.g. company registration number, registered address and evidence that the individuals have the authority to act for the company \u2013 a search at Companies House will reveal details of directors and company secretary.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Suspicious Activity Reporting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A report will be made if a member of staff\/ the nominated officer thinks that there is a possibility, which is more than fanciful, that a person is or has been engaged in money laundering or terrorist financing. The report will be made to the Directors who, should they be satisfied that there are grounds to suspect money laundering or terrorism before reporting their suspicions to the necessary authorities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What is Suspicious Activity?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This list is by no means exhaustive:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Reluctance to provide details of their identity&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Candidate is trying to use intermediaries to hide their identity or involvement &nbsp; There appears to be no genuine reason for the candidate using the business\u2019s services<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Money is paid by a third party who does not appear to be connected with the client&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 The client requests payment to a third party who has no apparent connection with the candidate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 A cash transaction is unusually large and the client will not disclose the source of funds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 A transaction is carried out for less than market value with an unconnected person&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should a report be made then it is important that this fact, and any information about the transaction in question, is kept confidential&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Record Keeping<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following records are required to be kept for 5 years:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Copies of, or references to, the evidence obtained of a candidate\u2019s identity for five years after the end of the candidate relationship, or five years from the date when the transaction was completed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2022 Supporting records relating to a candidate relationship or occasional transaction for five years from the date when the transaction was completed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purpose for keeping these records is to demonstrate the business\u2019s compliance with the regulations and to aid any resulting investigations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anti-Money Laundering Policy Statement JobContax&nbsp;
