Enhanced Due Diligence

At NH Management, we include Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) in our compliance procedures to provide robust protection while maintaining high financial integrity.

EDD goes beyond ordinary Customer Due Diligence (CDD) by conducting a more thorough examination of clients’ history, funding sources, and business operations. This thorough assessment assists in identifying red flags and protecting against money laundering, terrorism funding, and other financial crimes.

In-depth Customer Analysis

EDD necessitates a thorough study of the customer's identification, including the legal structure and authenticity of ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs). This helps determine whether the customer's structure is genuine or intended to conceal the actual owners.

Verification of Assets

It is critical to check the source of assets and riches to ensure their legitimacy. This step is crucial in preventing the proceeds of illicit activity from being laundered through your company.

Continuous Monitoring

AML transaction monitoring is a critical component of EDD. It entails continual monitoring of consumer transactions to detect any odd or suspect behaviour that could indicate money laundering or other illicit activity.

The Importance of Compliance with Enhanced Due Diligence Requirements

Adherence to enhanced due diligence (EDD) is critical not just for completing regulatory requirements but also for safeguarding enterprises from potential dangers. High-risk consumers can cause significant legal, financial, and reputational concerns. Organisations can avoid these risks by using EDD practices through NH Management, ensuring that they do not unintentionally promote unlawful activity. Furthermore, compliance with EDD displays a company’s commitment to ethical procedures and financial system integrity. 

A well-structured EDD checklist is essential for a complete compliance process. This checklist should include procedures such as identifying customers, validating funding sources, and conducting regular monitoring. NH Management offers thorough EDD checklists personalised to your specific requirements, easing the process and improving your compliance efforts. Furthermore, obtaining top management clearance for high-risk customers ensures that decisions are made with an accurate understanding of the risks involved.
