Explanation

Ongoing Due Diligence: FATF emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring of business relationships and transactions. This involves regularly assessing the risk associated with a customer and ensuring that the information remains up-to-date. It includes monitoring transactions for any suspicious activity or red flags. Beneficial Owners: Identifying beneficial owners is crucial, but it must be done with verification of their true identity. This is part of the initial due diligence process. Risk Assessment: Conducting risk assessments is essential, but it is not specific to customer due diligence. Risk assessment applies broadly to anti-money laundering (AML) programs. Products and Services Suitability: While understanding the suitability of products and services is relevant, it is not a direct measure within customer due diligence.
