ISCA issues Revised EP 200 Implementation Guidance (IG) 1 Frequently Asked Questions and EP 200 IG 2 Illustrative Customer Due Diligence Templates

ISCA has issued EP 200 (Revised on 1 June 2023) Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism – Requirements and Guidelines for Professional Accountants in Singapore to adopt the anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) requirements which are included in the Accountants (Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism) Rules 2023. These requirements are applicable to professional accountants in public practice and professional firms preparing for or carrying out transactions which are considered high risk.

Whilst the AML/CFT requirements remain largely the same, there were changes to the paragraphs in EP 200 (Revised on 1 June 2023) and referencing to the Accountants (Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism) Rules 2023. As such, the following EP 200 IGs were updated.
