A legal entity applies to open an account in a financial institution. The owners of the entity are 20 individuals with equal shareholding. Who should be identified as the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO), per Financial Action Task Force (FATF) guidelines?
Answer(s): D
FATF guidelines require identifying UBOs as individuals owning more than 25% or, if no one meets that threshold, those who exercise control through other means. In this case, no shareholder owns more than 25%, so the UBO is identified based on control, typically the person(s) in senior management.
Assets under management show an increase of investors whose income originates from high-risk jurisdictions. This indicates higher risk in which area?
Answer(s): B
FATF considers jurisdictions with weak AML/CFT controls as high-risk. An increase in investors from such regions raises geographical risk, since the customers' funds originate from locations with elevated money laundering or terrorism financing threats.

A politically exposed person (PEP) is eager to open a private account with an international bank. In addition to performing the normal CDD, which measure should be required from the AML officer?
FATF requires that before establishing a business relationship with a PEP, financial institutions must obtain senior management approval, along with applying enhanced due diligence measures such as verifying the source of wealth and funds.
Which factor would be a reason for concern when corroborating the source of wealth of an individual client?
Answer(s): A
Inconsistent or changing explanations from a client when asked for supplementary information about their wealth can indicate potential misrepresentation or concealment, making it a key red flag during source of wealth verification.
