Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) and Compliance Officer outsource services play a crucial role in ensuring firms are incentivised towards compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) law and other legislation. Positions of Compliance Officer and MLRO need to be appointed by various sectors, for example, Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) and businesses involved in a regulated activity, as prescribed by statute requirements. These roles are important in ensuring business organizations are money laundering crime-free, laws are complied with, and ethical standards of practice are adopted. The Compliance Officer is responsible for the effective implementation of policies and procedures aimed at complying with regulatory requirements.This involves monitoring business operations, identifying risks, and adhering to relevant laws and industry regulations. In the process, it is also the responsibility of the MLRO to report suspicious transactions, engage with regulators, and ensure that the AML system of the company is effective and robust. Even though these roles may be merged and vested in an individual, he or she must have the qualifications, industry knowledge, and powers of function needed to perform his or her duties effectively.
