Client account opening form
Permalink Closed

Hi all,
I have been trying to come up with a template for an account opening form for new clients to ensure I am complying with money laundering regulations, as well as getting all the info I need to set up a new client account.
Before I send it to my new potential client would anyone be willing to take a look at it for me and see if I've missed anything/ need to add anything.
I will be sending this over before my letter of engagement etc .
Thanks in advance
Nicola

Hello Nicola,

I would be happy to help as I am sure others will.

I tend to wrap up my MLR into my terms of engagement. I used the CIMA model as a template

Regards
Chris

I send clients an excel sheet to fill in - one tab for the director and one for the company, if applicable.

I ask the usual personal details questions, along with whether they have lived anywhere else in the last 3 years, have they been declared bankrupt, disqualified as a director, under HMRC enquiry, and whether they hold any assets that might give rise to future gains... not sure where I got those questions from, TBH! If I missed off anything really important, it would be good to know!!
