Find answers to common questions about FICA compliance and our services.
A Risk Management and Compliance Programme (RMCP) is a document required by the FIC that outlines how an accountable institution will comply with FICA obligations. It includes policies, procedures, and controls for customer due diligence, record keeping, and reporting.
Accountable institutions as defined in the FIC Act must register with the FIC. This includes attorneys, estate agents, motor vehicle dealers, dealers in high value goods, property practitioners, and other financial services providers.
Non-compliance with FICA can result in significant penalties, administrative sanctions, and reputational damage. The FIC can impose fines and other enforcement actions against accountable institutions that fail to meet their obligations.
The timeline depends on the complexity of your business and current compliance status. Typically, the initial RMCP development and registration process can be completed within 2-4 weeks. We strive for quick turnaround times.
