The 5th Anti-Money Laundering Directive is the EU Governmental response to these guidelines.

slide-9
SLIDE 9

The directive is chiefly concerned with transparency because money laundering requires anonymity and

  • pacity to thrive.
slide-10
SLIDE 10

The directive will require:

  • 1. We decide who is responsible for

compliance within our business

  • 2. We can quickly respond to HMRC

and Law Enforcement

slide-11
SLIDE 11

The directive will require: For any transaction over £8,000 - Bank transfer, card, cash, cheque and BitCoin - we’re going to have to carry

  • ut Due Diligence on our transaction.
slide-12

The directive is going ahead, regardless of Brexit

slide-14

What’s Due Diligence?

slide-15
SLIDE 15

A process designed to reduce

  • ur risk when transacting

with another party.

slide-16
SLIDE 16

What transactions present a risk to our businesses?

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Any non face-to-face transaction. E.g. Phone, online, email, WhatsApp or Instagram

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Politically Exposed Persons E.g. Someone with a prominent public function at risk of bribery or corruption

slide-19
SLIDE 19

Clients purchasing from a high risk country E.g. Denmark, Iceland, Slovenia

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Clients that can be connected to businesses within industries that are vulnerable to money laundering E.g. Finance, Banking or Real-Estate

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Due Diligence means: ‘Doing your homework’

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Due Diligence is an information gathering exercise to answer: Who is it I’m dealing with?

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Know Your Customer (KYC) means identifying your client.

slide-24
SLIDE 24

How do I identify my client?

slide-25
SLIDE 25

Auctioneers require valid ID before we bid. We’ll be required to do the same.

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Step 1: We identify who is taking

  • wnership of the art object upon

completion of the transaction.

slide-27
SLIDE 27

If we’re selling to an individual - such as a collector - we’ll have to ask the client provides ID

slide-28
SLIDE 28

If we’re selling to a business - such as a Private Limited Company - knowing the name of the business doesn’t constitute identification.

slide-29
SLIDE 29

Who within the business will own the Art Object? There may be more than one.

slide-30
SLIDE 30

The person(s) taking ownership of the Art Object is called the Beneficial Owner(s).

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Beneficial Ownership Register: A list of known identities of company owners

slide-32
SLIDE 32

Important when dealing with businesses because:

  • 1. Company structures act as a smokescreen
  • 2. Financial, banking and real-estate

industries are vulnerable to money-laundering

slide-33
SLIDE 33

Step 2: Does this individual present a risk?

slide-34
SLIDE 34
  • 1. Is our Beneficial Owner Politically

Exposed?

  • 2. Do they have connections to industries

vulnerable to money-laundering?

  • 3. Is the transaction face-to-face or not?
  • 4. Are they from a high risk country?
slide-35
SLIDE 35

Step 3: Proof of Due Diligence

slide-36
SLIDE 36

We’ll be required to keep an electronic record showing our due diligence to comply.

slide-37
SLIDE 37

With GDPR and Data Protection now in effect, any sensitive information will need to be encrypted.

slide-38
SLIDE 38

What if we don’t comply?

slide-39
SLIDE 39

GOV.UK tells us HMRC could:

  • 1. Charge civil penalties
  • 2. Prosecute
  • 3. Cancel registration
  • 4. Apply for injunctions
slide-40
SLIDE 40

HMRC can take legal action in the form of:

  • 1. Management prohibitions and

suspensions

  • 2. Restrict a businesses ability to lawfully

trade

  • 3. ‘Name and shame’ by publishing details

about non-compliant business
