5 common mistakes in CDD research

Reading time: 4 min

One makes several mistakes when conducting a customer due diligence under the Wwft, depending on an organization's specific circumstances and procedures. Below are some common mistakes:

Collecting incomplete or inaccurate information

It is important to gather enough information about the client and his or her transactions to make a proper assessment. If information is missing or if the information collected is incorrect, it can lead to an incorrect conclusion.

Insufficient attention to risks

Each client and transaction may involve different risks. It is important to identify and consider these risks when evaluating the client and transactions.

Inadequate monitoring of changes

Clients and their transactions may change, for example, if new information becomes available or if there are changes in economic or political conditions. It is important to monitor these changes and, if necessary, make adjustments in client research.

Inadequate staff training or supervision

Conducting a client due diligence for the Wwft requires specific knowledge and skills. The personnel involved in client due diligence must be adequately trained and supervised to ensure that they are able to perform the work correctly.

Insufficient integration of client due diligence into business processes

Conducting client due diligence should be integrated into an organization's business processes and not seen as a stand-alone process. This helps ensure that the results of the due diligence are used in the organization's day-to-day operations and allows for more efficient implementation of Wwft regulations.
