The EDD Challenges You Face

FCA enforcement actions consistently identify the same enhanced due diligence failures. Without structured processes, firms struggle to demonstrate adequate controls.

Inconsistent Documentation

Different staff document EDD differently. Some cases have detailed records, others have minimal notes. Regulators see inconsistency as a control weakness.

Weak Source of Wealth Verification

The most common FCA finding. Firms accept customer declarations without adequate verification. Source of wealth and source of funds are confused or conflated.

No Clear Risk Framework

Subjective risk assessments with no documented methodology. Decisions that seem arbitrary when reviewed. No clear thresholds for escalation or approval.
