Most firms screen correctly for one. The failures occur in the other two.<\/p>\n   <div class=\"pep-cat-list\">\n\n    <div class=\"pep-cat-item\">\n     <div class=\"pep-cat-marker\">01<\/div>\n     <div>\n      <div class=\"pep-cat-title\">Foreign PEPs. highest risk under FATF guidelines<\/div>\n      <p class=\"pep-cat-body\">Individuals who hold or have held a prominent public function in a country other than the institution's home jurisdiction. Under FATF Recommendation 12, foreign PEPs must always be treated as higher risk and subjected to Enhanced Due Diligence regardless of the jurisdiction's perceived risk level. There is no threshold or exemption based on the seniority of the role.<\/p>\n      <div class=\"pep-cat-note\">Common mistake: screening for foreign government ministers but not for foreign state-owned enterprise executives or officials of international organizations such as the UN, IMF, or World Bank.<\/div>\n     <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"pep-cat-item\">\n     <div class=\"pep-cat-marker\">02<\/div>\n     <div>\n      <div class=\"pep-cat-title\">Domestic PEPs. risk-based approach required<\/div>\n      <p class=\"pep-cat-body\">Individuals who hold or have held a prominent public function within the institution's home country. Unlike foreign PEPs, most jurisdictions allow a risk-based approach for domestic PEPs. the level of EDD applied depends on the specific role, the nature of the relationship, and the institution's risk appetite. A risk-based approach still requires a documented decision. Treating a domestic PEP as standard risk without documentation is not defensible in an examination.<\/p>\n      <div class=\"pep-cat-note\">The EU's Anti-Money Laundering Directives require firms to treat both domestic and foreign PEPs as higher risk and apply EDD to both categories without differentiation.<\/div>\n     <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"pep-cat-item\">\n     <div class=\"pep-cat-marker\">03<\/div>\n     <div>\n      <div class=\"pep-cat-title\">PEPs by association. the most commonly missed category<\/div>\n      <p class=\"pep-cat-body\">Individuals who are not themselves PEPs but are closely connected to one. family members, business partners, or known associates. They carry indirect exposure to the same bribery and corruption risk as the PEP they are connected to. This category is the most commonly missed in screening programs, partly because it requires screening not just the customer but their network, and partly because the connection to a PEP may not be declared at onboarding.<\/p>\n      <div class=\"pep-cat-note\">A PEP's adult child opening a business account is not a PEP themselves. but they are a PEP by association and should trigger an EDD review and source of funds assessment.<\/div>\n     <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n   <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n <!-- WHY IT MATTERS -->\n <section class=\"pep-risk\">\n  <div class=\"pep-wrap\">\n   <div class=\"pep-tag\">Why It Matters<\/div>\n   <h2 class=\"pep-h2\">What happens when <em>PEP screening breaks down<\/em><\/h2>\n   <p class=\"pep-sub\">PEP screening failures do not announce themselves at onboarding. They surface gradually. through changes in customer risk profiles that a periodic review process cannot catch in time.<\/p>\n   <div class=\"pep-scenario-list\">\n\n    <div class=\"pep-scenario\">\n     <div class=\"pep-scenario-aside\">\n      <div class=\"pep-scenario-period\">Incorporaci\u00f3n<\/div>\n      <div class=\"pep-scenario-risk risk-low\">Low risk<\/div>\n     <\/div>\n     <div class=\"pep-scenario-main\">\n      <div class=\"pep-scenario-title\">Customer is screened and cleared at onboarding<\/div>\n      <p class=\"pep-scenario-body\">The customer does not appear on any PEP database at the time of onboarding. They are assigned a standard risk rating, KYC documentation is collected and filed, and the relationship begins without any elevated due diligence requirements.<\/p>\n     <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"pep-scenario\">\n     <div class=\"pep-scenario-aside\">\n      <div class=\"pep-scenario-period\">8 months<\/div>\n      <div class=\"pep-scenario-risk risk-mod\">Elevated<\/div>\n     <\/div>\n     <div class=\"pep-scenario-main\">\n      <div class=\"pep-scenario-title\">Customer is appointed to a senior government role<\/div>\n      <p class=\"pep-scenario-body\">The customer accepts a senior position in a government ministry. Their name is added to PEP databases within days of the announcement. Without continuous re-screening, this change is invisible to your compliance program. The relationship continues under a standard risk rating that no longer reflects reality.<\/p>\n     <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"pep-scenario\">\n     <div class=\"pep-scenario-aside\">\n      <div class=\"pep-scenario-period\">14 months<\/div>\n      <div class=\"pep-scenario-risk risk-high\">Alto<\/div>\n     <\/div>\n     <div class=\"pep-scenario-main\">\n      <div class=\"pep-scenario-title\">Periodic review does not catch the change<\/div>\n      <p class=\"pep-scenario-body\">The institution's annual KYC refresh runs a name screen against the customer record.

The customer's current status is identified. The institution has no EDD documentation, no source of funds assessment, and no senior management sign-off for a relationship that has been a PEP exposure for fourteen months.
