An excerpt from "FSA Fines Coutts £8.75m for AML Control Failings"

On March 26, the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA) announced that it had fined Coutts & Company £8.75 million (approximately $14 million) in relation to failures to take reasonable care to establish and maintain effective anti-money laundering (AML) systems and controls relating to high risk customers including politically exposed persons (PEPs). The fine was imposed for breaches of Principle 3 of the FSA’s Principles for Businesses (“a firm must take reasonable care to organise and control its affairs responsibly and effectively, with adequate risk management systems”) and FSA rules relating to Senior Management Arrangements, Systems and Controls (SYSC 6.1.1R and SYSC 6.3.1R).
