ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Our anti-money laundering (AML) policies are generally based on the highest standards that are required in the jurisdictions where we operate, and apply in relation to all of our business. As applicable, ILS conducts client due diligence enquiries on each new client and persons connected with them and conducts ongoing monitoring of existing clients. Where necessary for these purposes, we seek relevant information from third party data suppliers. Where individuals have supplied personal data for this purpose we will only use it for that purpose and will keep it only as long as the relevant AML and data protection legislation requires.
ILS also has internal procedures to ensure that any suspicions of money laundering are reported to the appropriate authorities where there is an obligation to do so. Our team is periodically provided with training on these issues.
