Classroom

Programme Objective

Ethics Pronouncement (EP) 200 provides the anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT) requirements and guidelines for professional accountants in Singapore. EP 200 is applicable to all professional accountants in business, public practices and professional firms. 

 In addition to the EP 200, Registered Filing Agents (RFAs) are also required to follow guidelines to comply with AML and CFT.  Inevitably, professionals would question the differences between EP 200 and the RFA Guidelines.  ACRA had also issued an Audit Practice Bulletin setting out some recommendations which aligned the RFA Guidelines with EP 200. 
 
 This programme is designed specifically to provide Audit Professionals practical guidance on the required EP 200 documentation, taking into consideration the key differences between the RFA Guidelines and the EP 200 requirements as well as ACRA’s APB Bulletin issued. Key Findings from the ACRA’s latest EP 200 Inspection Findings will also be discussed.
