Overview

Regulated Hong Kong businesses require risk-based AML/CFT controls addressing customer due diligence, beneficial ownership, PEPs, sanctions, monitoring and suspicious-transaction reporting.

Coutts Consultants coordinates hong kong aml/kyc compliance framework for regulated businesses as a defined Hong Kong professional-services engagement. We establish the client's commercial objective and review regulated sector, risk assessment, CDD/EDD, beneficial owners, PEPs, sanctions, monitoring, STR process, records and training.

Hong Kong combines Companies Registry requirements with Inland Revenue Department tax administration and, where relevant, Immigration Department, SFC, HKMA, Customs and sector-specific regulation. The engagement is scoped around the actual business rather than a generic package. We prepare a tailored evidence list and coordinate the appropriate authority, financial institution or Hong Kong specialist.

Reserved legal, tax, audit, immigration or regulated financial-services work is undertaken by appropriately qualified professionals, and all registrations, licences, visas and bank accounts remain subject to the competent authority or provider.
