FICA:

Money laundering is an international pandemic, that affects many South African businesses. It is therefore important that all businesses understand their responsibilities in terms of South African Anti Money Laundering legislation. Employees of businesses, specifically accountable institutions, should also understand and fulfil their responsibilities and obligations in terms of these legislation.
The Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) provides for specific requirements that all accountable institutions have to follow in order to ensure they mitigate the risk of money laundering, and also places a legal obligation on all employees to report money laundering transactions. Should non-compliance occur, heavy penalties will be implemented.
It is the responsibility of accountable institutions to provide training to employees involved in transactions to which FICA applies during the normal course of business to enable them to comply with the provisions of FICA and the internal rules applicable to them.

The session will cover the following:

On the 7th of September 2016, the South African National Assembly voted in favour of the appointment of the Information Regulator for POPI.
