Finance SIG - Client Identification

Description

Know Your Client: Understanding the New Requirements and Preparing to Comply.

We know it’s coming effective October 31, 2008 – a new Law Society compliance regime developed to address obligations imposed by the Federal government to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing and other illegal activity across Canada.

Coined as the ‘Know Your Client’ Rule, the thrust of the compliance regime relates to client identification as well as verification of that identification in certain circumstances. This program is a follow-up to our June presentation and is intended to help clarify some of the misunderstandings around the requirements and to provide guidance on how to prepare your firm to be compliant and manage the new information that you will be required to obtain and record.
