“Once a PEP always a PEP” is rule based. At a risk based approach FATF needs to come with more guidance. UK does not follow once a pep always a pep. One should apply his judgement

another great video of yours. keep up the good work 👏👏👍🏼 here i would want to understand a point whether a personal assistant/secretary of a PEP would be considered a close associate or not? close associates are usually business partners but since a PA would have close proximity with the PEP as part of daily work so i think they could also be prone to risk of bribery & corruption like PEP. what's your view on this
@Karish. D - Great Comment and even better question. We think this is where applying a Risk Based Approach is applicable, and what we mean by that is because normally PA/Secretaries are not considered PEPs. However theres is a number of factors you need to consider... is the individual who is the PEP, what role does he/she have? are they a local or regional public figure if YES then we wouldnt consider the PA/Secretary a PEP by association, if the PEP is the President or has a National level role in a jurisdiction known for bribery and corruption within the political system then there is a case to treat that PA/Secretary as a close associate therefore you would have her down as a PEP by association. Another factor is the length of time they have been working together, people in high ranking roles always have the same people working for them year after year. As mentioned at the top its a great question and one that cant be answered in simple YES or NO. I hope the above helps. :)
@@KYCLookup yes seems right with Risk based approach. agree with you that a straight yes or no will not suffice here. got more clarity on this & thanks for the explanation. 😊👍🏼
Hi, I disagree with the statement "once a pep, always a pep." This may be true in countries with stable governments, where only key officials like the president and ministers change, while the rest of the government remains the same. However, in countries with frequent conflicts or where the entire government changes, this phrase doesn't hold much meaning. When a new government takes over, the previous officials lose their positions and no longer have the authority to influence anything. Therefore, they are no longer considered "peps."
Agree with thumbs rule once a PEP ALWAYS A PEP. As they may still have influence & loyalty among their ex staff and or help their associates in ex office to do corruption.
@hammandkamran2771 Thank you for the comment. We already have a video on FATF, please see the below: What is FATF ua-cam.com/video/MDeWhLMgUzg/v-deo.html What the FATF Grey List ua-cam.com/video/jZcmO9NzSfU/v-deo.html
@Mermaid_woman - thanks for the comment, can you elaborate more on the question please in order to give a more accurate answer. Corporate PEPs in some cases can be referred to individuals who work for State-Owned enterprises, so although the role the person carries out is not considered or eligible to be called a PEP the fact they work for a government body or government entity it will define them as PEPs too. please share more information so we can assist further. :)
@Malabari hub, did you watch the video? Modi is featured in the video and the thumbnail. the video is not a list of PEPs, the idea is to provide detail what it a PEP and the risks they present. Hope you liked it.
@Bazangelopoulos Thank you for the comment. Yes, Nigel Farage would be considered a PEP due to his several public figure roles he has carried out (e.g. M.E.P).
So we just assume that ppl in power are corrupt... Why not assume all men are at higher risk being serial killers because most serial killers have been men.
Thank you for the comment, however no idea where you got that idea from. A PEP will naturally be exposed to bribes, kickbacks and much more hence why the high risk factor. Nothing to do with men or all PEPs being corrupt as its not the case. 👋

@@KYCLookup thanks for the quick response
@@Soulful_Katha No problem. We are here to help as much as possible. 👍
Can show some cases studies bank panelty
I totally agree, once a PEP always a PEP. An individual might be out of office but his/her level of influence remains. At least in a lot of cases.

@Nileshwar roy - Thank you for the suggestion, thats a good one
This is a vague doctrine and the sloppy way it's being implemented is harming innocent people. Governments must apply rigorous controls.
@galaxytrio thanks for the comment. Couldnt agree more 👍
Who comes under corporate PEP??
@Mermaid_woman - thanks for the comment, can you elaborate more on the question please in order to give a more accurate answer.
Corporate PEPs in some cases can be referred to individuals who work for State-Owned enterprises, so although the role the person carries out is not considered or eligible to be called a PEP the fact they work for a government body or government entity it will define them as PEPs too.
please share more information so we can assist further. :)
Let us know why Mr. Narendra Modi not listed in PeP ? he also well known politician and pm of a country.
@Malabari hub, did you watch the video? Modi is featured in the video and the thumbnail. the video is not a list of PEPs, the idea is to provide detail what it a PEP and the risks they present. Hope you liked it.
