Bookings close today, 16 October, for Moonstone Compliance’s free Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FICA) webinar on Wednesday morning.
With the regulators focusing on the enforcement of financial sector laws to get South Africa off the Financial Action Task Force’s grey list by 2025, accountable institutions that want to manage their money-laundering risks would do well to attend this webinar.
Moonstone Compliance’s chief operating officer, Billy Seyffert, and legal and compliance adviser Marili Orffer will equip you with the knowledge you need to follow a risk-based approach in your organisation.
Seyffert says the risk-based approach filters through to all aspects of a business’s activities, from selecting product or service providers and employees to concluding transactions with clients.
“Registration with the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) and the development of the Risk Management and Compliance Programme are only the first steps in complying with FICA requirements. The adoption of a risk-based approach to your FICA compliance obligations is the next evolution of your compliance regime.”
Webinar attendees will be taken through the various steps of a risk-based approach the FIC requires when accountable institutions conduct business activities and transactions.
“Moonstone will provide practical insights and guidance into what a risk-based approach to compliance entails and demonstrate how to implement and consistently apply the principles within your institution to ensure that those risks that apply to your business and circumstances are effectively managed,” Seyffert says.
The webinar will be held on 18 October from 10am to 11.30am on Microsoft Teams.
There are no CPD points for attending the webinar.

Next month’s webinar is a sequel to Moonstone Compliance well-attended webinar in June aimed at new accountable institutions. The free webinar was limited to 1 000 attendees, and it was fully booked before the deadline to register closed.
