It also set out the Commission’s approach to monitoring AML/CFT compliance at licensed financial services firms, including sector risk assessments and the development of on-site inspection plans, supported by examples of suspicious money laundering and terrorist financing scenarios in the securities sector. Separate contributions outlined the inspection function’s risk-based classification of firms and inspection stages, illustrated cases of manipulation in investors’ accounts, explained the Investor Protection Fund system, and highlighted operational cooperation with criminal investigators, including work to develop an early warning system.
