Canada’s anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing agency has issued a $315,282 fine on Richmond-based money service business Canada Changjiang Management Ltd. for multiple reporting violations.
“Its policies and procedures did not address ministerial directives and transaction restrictions and did not include the processes it would undertake for the review of its clients' activities specific to domestic politically exposed persons, heads of international organizations, or family member or close associate of such persons,” stated Fintrac in a news release Thursday.
Canada Changjiang, which advertises specifically to Chinese-speaking clientele at a strip mall, is said to have paid the fine in full.
