Senior management

C

Team management

Project management

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

FATF requires that the decision to establish or continue a business relationship with a Politically Exposed Person (PEP), or their close family members, must be approved by senior management after appropriate enhanced due diligence has been completed.

Question 3

During a routine CDD update in a financial institution, a junior member of the compliance department identifies that the spouse of the reviewed client was elected as a member of government. Which action should the junior member take?

A

Inform the relationship manager about the election of the client's spouse.

B

Make a note on the client's account of this fact and continue operations as usual.

C

File a suspicious transaction report because the client did not notify the financial institution.

D

Update the client's information to reflect that the client is related to a politically exposed person.

Correct Answer: D
