Is your client’s real estate funding crime?
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) estimated that $1.6 trillion were laundered in 2021, which was nearly half the real estate sector’s total worth (around $3.7 trillion)
As real estate is attractive to money launderers, having a robust, risk-based approach to AML in real estate is essential. Vverifying the identity of the ultimate beneficial owner (UBO), assessing the risk profiles of clients and uncovering if funds are legitimate, are an absolute must and can help mitigate business risks.
Potentials AML risks in the real estate industry include:
- Country/geographic risk: Location of the buyer and seller, location of the property in relation to the buyer
- Customer risk: Charities and non-profit organisations not subject to monitoring, PEPs, cash incentive businesses
- Transaction risk: Type of property, quick and successive transactions, under or over-valued transactions
- Financial risk: Source of funds, cash deposits, loans from unregulated financial institutions
Not adopting a risk-based approach early on can affect the legal industry in many ways
- Law firms without a risk-based solution can become easy targets for criminals and might miss crucial indicators of money laundering.
- Failure to comply with FATF guidelines can invite regulatory investigations and reputational damage.
- Failure to identify and report suspicious activity can incur legal and financial liability.
- Blocked implementation of preventative measures that address potential vulnerabilities before they arise.
- Inefficient client-onboarding that lacks tailored solutions and ongoing monitoring.
Simplifying KYC and AML for law firms with a risk-based approach
- Given the diversity in scale and activities, some legal professions may be more vulnerable to being exploited for money laundering (ML) and terrorist financing (TF) than others.
- This guidance highlights the need for a sound assessment of the ML/TF risks that legal professionals face so that the policies, procedures and initial and ongoing client due diligence (CDD) measures can mitigate these risks. This risk-based approach (RBA) is central to the EU anti money laundering directive (AMLD) to fight money laundering and terrorist financing.
