Even non-financial companies need a money laundering prevention system – Outsourcing MLRO in Germany

The German Money Laundering Act is aimed not only at companies in the financial sector, such as banks or corporations, but also at companies outside the financial sector.

Among others, the German Money Laundering Act applies to the following non-financial companies:

  • Goods traders (any person who sells commercial goods, regardless of in whose name or on whose behalf it trades),
  • Legal service providers (non-licensed legal assistants and registered persons according to § 10 of the Legal Services Act, if they plan and perform certain business for clients),
  • Service providers for companies and trusts or trustees when providing certain services (e.g. offering shelf companies),
  • Real estate agents is any persons who commercially arranges the purchase or sale of land or rights equivalent to real estate,
  • Organiser and broker of games.

In order to prevent money laundering, companies must obtain and document information about the identity of their contractual partners, who may be responsible for this person and the beneficial owner (know your customer principle – know your customer). They need to monitor their business relationships for abnormalities and take internal safeguards to detect money laundering leads.

For this purpose, a risk management system according to para 4  German MLA includes a  risk analysis  and para 5 German MLA as well as internal security measures according to para 6 German MLA must be set up.

Governance Outsourcing: Supervisory Rules and requirements

BaFin requirements: All undertakings are allowed to outsource functions. In the event of outsourcing, undertakings must ensure compliance with all supervisory rules and requirements. To this end, the undertakings must adopt a written policy for the outsourced functions.

If an undertaking also intends to outsource key tasks – e.g. one of the four key functions – it must designate an „outsourcing officer“ responsible for supervising the outsourcing process. However, the ultimate responsibility of the management board (or other persons appointed to represent the undertaking) for the outsourced function or insurance activity cannot be delegated but always remains within the undertaking.
