The work presented herein is issued on behalf of the members of the LPEA AML Expert Working Group (the “Working Group”), who are professionals active in the field of anti-money laundering (“AML”) and counter-terrorism financing (“CTF”).
This paper aims to provide a suggested basis for the purpose of the yearly reporting of the compliance officer in charge of the control of compliance with the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (“AML/CFT”) professional obligations (responsable du contrôle du respect – “RC”) to be approved by the board / responsible for compliance with the AML/CFT professional obligations (responsable du respect – “RR”) for the Luxembourg Reserved Alternative Investment Funds (“RAIF”) and other unregulated Alternative Investment Funds (“AIF”) (each a “Fund”). Such annual report shall be filed with the Registration Duty, Estate and VAT Authority (Administration de l’enregistrement, des domaines et de la TVA – “AED”), as national authority competent for AML/CFT supervision of Luxembourg non-regulated AIFs (i.e. the Funds).
Although this paper aims to be universal and meets AED requirements, it needs to be adapted to the Fund’s activities and the RC’s specific AML/CFT controls.
