21 Nov 2024 Tana Africa Capital Managers (Pty) LtdFSCA: ZAR 2.9m against Tana Africa Capital Managers, upheld by the Appeal Board South AfricaInternal controls €152,404

An inspection showed that the asset manager's risk management and compliance programme was deficient and not effectively implemented, and that client data was not screened against the UN Security Council targeted financial sanctions lists. The FSCA imposed ZAR 2.9m, of which ZAR 1m is conditionally suspended for three years; on 6 November 2024 the FIC Act Appeal Board dismissed the appeal against the amount and held that reliance on an external compliance adviser does not relieve an institution of responsibility. The amount and the facts have not been confirmed against the primary source.

What organisations can take from it

A firm that outsources compliance to an external provider remains responsible for meeting its anti-money laundering duties itself, even with just a single client.
