NEW QUESTION # 244
The Wolfsberg Principles for Private Banking list circumstances that would require additional due diligence, including activities that involve which three of these choices?
- A. Public officials, including those individuals who have or had positions of public trust
- B. Foreign jurisdictions
- C. High Risk activities, involving clients and beneficial owners whose source of wealth originates from activities known to be vulnerable to money laundering
- D. High Risk Countries, including those identified by credible sources as having inadequate Anti-Money Laundering standards
Answer: B,C,D
Explanation:
The Wolfsberg Principles for Private Banking are a set of guidelines for private banking relationships that aim to prevent and detect money laundering and terrorist financing risks. The Principles state that the bank should conduct additional due diligence on clients and beneficial owners in certain circumstances that may indicate a higher risk of money laundering or terrorist financing. Among the options given, A, B, and C are the correct choices that reflect the circumstances listed in the Principles.
Foreign jurisdictions are countries or territories other than the one where the bank operates or where the client or beneficial owner resides. The Principles state that the bank should conduct additional due diligence on clients and beneficial owners who are connected to foreign jurisdictions, especially those that have weak or inadequate anti-money laundering standards, or that are subject to sanctions, embargoes, or similar measures.
High Risk Countries are countries or territories that are identified by credible sources, such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), as having inadequate anti-money laundering standards, or as being a source, transit, or destination of illicit funds. The Principles state that the bank should conduct additional due diligence on clients and beneficial owners who are connected to high risk countries, and apply enhanced measures to mitigate the risks.
High Risk activities are activities that involve clients and beneficial owners whose source of wealth or funds originates from sectors or industries that are known to be vulnerable to money laundering, such as cash-intensive businesses, gambling, arms trade, precious metals and stones, or art and antiquities. The Principles state that the bank should conduct additional due diligence on clients and beneficial owners who are engaged in high risk activities, and verify the legitimacy and origin of their wealth and funds.

NEW QUESTION # 245
Which red flag indicates high potential for money laundering in a real estate purchase?
- A. The purchaser had a previous bankruptcy
- B. The purchaser is a nominee
- C. The purchaser owns a cash intensive business
- D. The purchaser is not a resident where the property is located
Answer: B
Explanation:
The purchaser being a nominee is a red flag that indicates high potential for money laundering in a real estate purchase. A nominee is a person or entity that acts on behalf of another person or entity, usually to conceal the identity or beneficial ownership of the real owner. Money launderers may use nominees to purchase real estate with illicit funds, and then transfer the property to the real owner or sell it for a profit. This way, they can obscure the source and ownership of the funds, and integrate them into the legitimate economy12.

NEW QUESTION # 246

- A. The principal activities of the proposed company are importing and exporting new furniture.
- B. The prospective client exhibits confidence when speaking to the accountant when providing personal details.
- C. The prospective client is unable to provide information about the beneficial owners.
- D. The prospective client is able to provide source of funds and source of wealth documents.
- E. The prospective client presents confusing details about the proposed business and has very little knowledge about the proposed business activity.
Answer: C,E
Explanation:
Explanation
A lack of information about beneficial owners is a red flag for potential money laundering or terrorist financing. It is important to identify who the actual owners of the company are to understand their potential risk exposure.
Confusing details about the proposed business activity and lack of knowledge about the proposed business are also red flags for potential money laundering or terrorist financing. This could indicate that the proposed business activity is not legitimate and is being used to conceal illegal activities.
Therefore, these two observations should be escalated to the compliance officer for further investigation.

NEW QUESTION # 248
A financial institution opens a mortgage loan for a customer. During a subsequent internal review of the loan, it was noted that the appraisal used to support the loan was performed by an appraiser who was not on the institution's approved appraiser list. This exception was approved by the senior loan underwriter. The reviewer, who had examined other loans from the same general area, noted that the value on the loan appeared significantly higher than on other comparable properties. Which of the following should the anti-money laundering specialist recommend next?
- A. Document the underwriter's actions prior to filing a suspicious transaction report.
- B. Train the appraiser on anti-money laundering compliance for high-end real estate loans.
- C. Determine whether the loan underwriter reviewed the appraiser's license for validity.
- D. Alert local law enforcement regarding a potential collusive relationship between the un-derwriter and appraiser.
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to the Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (the 6th edition) resources, one of the red flags for money laundering in real estate transactions is the use of an appraiser who is not on the approved list of the financial institution. This could indicate a possible collusion between the appraiser and the borrower or the underwriter to inflate the value of the property and obtain a higher loan amount. The anti-money laundering specialist should document the underwriter's actions and the reasons for approving the exception, as well as the discrepancy between the appraised value and the market value of the property. The specialist should then file a suspicious transaction report (STR) to the relevant authorities, as required by the local regulations .

NEW QUESTION # 252
A United States (U.S.) bank was recently alerted by law enforcement of an increase in sale of large denomination U.S. bank notes to casas de cambio. They suspect that a Mexican syndicate is operating a money laundering scheme in the bank's jurisdiction.
Which two steps should be taken to trace funds through the bank to assist law enforcement in their investigation? (Choose two.)
- A. Identify the money laundering scheme and submit a suspicious transaction report
- B. Identify deposits by casas de cambio that include third-party items including sequentially numbered monetary instruments
- C. Identify if there is a decrease in the sale of large denomination U.S. bank notes to casas de cambio by the bank
- D. Identify multiple wire transfers initiated by casas de cambio to jurisdictions outside of Mexico that bear no apparent business relationship with that casa de cambio
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
According to the ACAMS Study Guide 6th Edition, Chapter 2, page 38, one of the steps that a financial institution should take when it suspects money laundering activity is to file a suspicious transaction report (STR) or a suspicious activity report (SAR) to the relevant authorities. This will alert the regulators and law enforcement of the potential money laundering scheme and provide them with valuable information to trace the funds and identify the perpetrators.
Another step that a financial institution should take is to identify any unusual or suspicious wire transfers initiated by casas de cambio to jurisdictions outside of Mexico that bear no apparent business relationship with that casa de cambio. This could indicate that the casas de cambio are involved in layering and integration stages of money laundering, where they are moving the illicit funds across borders and disguising their origin and ownership. The financial institution should monitor and document these wire transfers and report them to the authorities if necessary.
Option B is not a relevant step to trace funds through the bank, as it does not provide any information about the source, destination, or purpose of the funds. A decrease in the sale of large denomination U.S. bank notes to casas de cambio by the bank could be due to various factors, such as market demand, exchange rates, or regulatory changes, and does not necessarily indicate money laundering activity.
Option C is also not a relevant step to trace funds through the bank, as it does not indicate any connection to the suspected money laundering scheme. Deposits by casas de cambio that include third-party items, such as sequentially numbered monetary instruments, could be legitimate transactions that are part of the normal business operations of the casas de cambio. Unless there is evidence that these deposits are related to the sale of large denomination U.S. bank notes or the Mexican syndicate, they are not useful for tracing the funds.
