2 Compliance advises on compliance risk 合规对合规风险提出建议
Compliance risk is the risk of: legal or regulatory sanctions, material financial loss, or harm to reputation that a bank may suffer as a result of its failure to comply with relevant laws, regulations, principles and rules, standards and codes of conduct applicable to its activities, in letter and in spirit. 合规风险是指，由于未遵照适用于公司活动的相关法律、法规、原则、法则、行为规范与准则，公司可能会遭受法律或法规的制裁，物质上的财务损失，或者使声誉受损的风险。 Background to the enormous surge of Compliance in : Also Indicate the example of costs of non-compliance that ABN AMRO faced in the US. ABN AMRO signed a written agreement in July 2004 with US bank regulators concerning its New York branch US dollar clearing activities. ABN AMRO conducted a data mining exercise on the US dollar clearing operations at the New York branch. This exercise uncovered compliance issues in the ABN AMRO Office in Dubai. In response, ABN AMRO initiated a Remedial Action Programme covering Supervisory Board and Managing Board Actions, as well as Group Compliance Actions. On 19 December 2005, ABN AMRO received a sanction of a cease and desist order, including a civil penalty of almost 80 million euro. Next to that, ABN AMRO must to continue to implement improvements in its oversight and compliance programs.

4 谁该负责合规工作？ Who is responsible for Compliance
Business is firstly responsible 业务部应负首要责任 Compliance is intended for support 合规意在为公司运营提供支持 Stress that everyone in the bank is responsible for compliance.

5 Key Compliance Areas: 关键的合规领域：
I. Client Acceptance and Anti-Money Laundering Policy 客户接受度与反洗钱政策(CAAML) Client Acceptance and Anti-Money Laundering 客户接受度与反洗钱 Sanctions 制裁 Confidentiality 机密性 Communication & Marketing 沟通与营销 Client Classification 客户分类 Suitability 适宜 Appropriateness 得当 Record keeping 档案保管 II. Dealing with Customers 与客户打交道 Conflicts of Interest 利益冲突 Chinese Walls 中国墙 Market Abuse 市场滥用 III. Market Conduct 市场行为 Personal Account Dealing Policy 个人账户处理政策 Gift Policy/ Bribery and Corruption 送礼政策/贿赂与腐败 Whistleblowing 揭发 When you need to Notify Compliance 何时需注意合规 IV. Other Compliance topics 其他合规话题

6 I. Client Acceptance and Anti-Money Laundering (CAAML) Policy 客户接受度与反洗钱政策
KYC Know Your Customer 了解你的客户 Client Acceptance/Due Diligence 客户接受度/尽职调查 Money Laundering & Terrorist Financing 洗钱与恐怖份子筹资活动 Sanction 制裁 The United Nations estimates that organised crime generates USD 1.5 trillion each year, i.e. USD 1,500,000,000,000. As you can see, laundering the proceeds of illegal activity is big business. What kind of illegal activities should we think of? Money Laundering The introduction of illegally gained assets (e.g. sale of drugs, revenues from fraud) into the financial system with the aim of concealing or disguising their true origin. The individuals attempt to conceal and legitimate the proceeds of illegal assets. The individuals wants to “wash away” any sign of the dirty origins of the funds. Terrorist Financing The financial support, in any form, of terrorism or of those who encourage, plan or engage in it. ABN AMRO is – as a global institution – vulnerable to Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing since: We have a presence in over 60 countries. We offer a wide range of products and services, i.e. wholesale banking, retail banking, asset management and transaction banking products and services. We serve many different types of clients, including institutional, corporate, retail and high net worth clients. Illegal activity can occur in any jurisdiction where we conduct business. Money launderers may attempt to use our Bank to move illegally obtained funds through global channels in order to give them the appearance of legitimacy.

7 Transaction Surveillance
1 Identification Initial Risk Assessment: Client Acceptance And Know Your Customer 初始风险评估：客户接受度，了解你的客户 Exit? 退出？ 识别 关系考察 Review Relationship 核实 Verification Client life Cycle 客户的生命周期 风险再评估 风险评估 Risk Re-assessment Risk Assessment AML RISK 反洗钱风险 Geography 地域 Industry 行业 Product 产品 3 Here the speaker mentions that our CAAML policy revolves around different types of monitoring activities in the client life cycle. 1. Client Acceptance: The first point refers to the new client take-on process where the bank follows stringent Client Acceptance and Know Your Customer KYC checks. Clients are risk assessed depending on their geographic location, the type of industry they operate in, and what products the bank has sold. The risk level will affect the attention level we will have to pay for each client. Ongoing risk assessment: you look at exceptions in client activity. Filtering of transactions against sanction lists to prevent unlawful activity and monitoring transactions to analyse unusual activity. Ongoing risk assessment means that you are looking at our clients behavior and their counterparties 2. Transaction Surveillance: Transaction Filtering: Pre-transaction review of cross-border payments to comply with OFAC and EU sanctions (Swift transactions filtering) The system we use is Vergasoft) Requires immediate action to prevent a transaction from happening Transaction Monitoring: Post-transaction review of client activities to detect unusual behaviour which requires further analysis (the system used is called Mantas) Concerns observation and investigation of client activities which may happen long after transactions have occurred. Transaction Surveillance 交易监测 Periodical Risk Re-assessment (or change in client profile / incidental) 定期风险再评估（或客户情况/附带事件的变化） Ongoing Risk Assessment:进行中的风险评估： Anti-Money Laundering CAAML/Sanctions反洗钱/制裁 2

8 Know Your Customer: 了解你的客户：
Customer Identification allows the bank to have confidence in the integrity of the persons with whom they transact business 客户鉴别使得银行能相信与他们进行交易的人的诚信度 Requires employees to obtain information identifying their customers 要求员工获取鉴别客户的信息 Requires employees to verify that customers are who they say they are 要求员工核实客户资料的可靠度 These responsibilities continue throughout the life of our relationship with a customer and apply to every transaction 这些职责贯穿于我们与客户打交道的整个过程，适用于每次交易

9 Money Laundering & Terrorist Financing 洗钱及恐怖分子筹资活动
“Money Laundering” is the introduction of illegally gained assets into the legal financial system with the aim of concealing or disguising their true origin. “洗钱”是将非法获得的资产融入合法的金融体系中，目的在于隐瞒或者掩饰它们的真实来源。 Money Laundering generally takes place in 3 steps: 洗钱活动一般分三步进行： Placement 放置 “the introduction of illegally gained assets into the legal financial system with the aim of concealing or disguising their true origin.” 将非法获得的资产融入合法的金融体系中，目的在于隐瞒或者掩饰它们的真实来源 Layering 移转 “the source of the illegally obtained funds is obscured through a succession of transfers and transactions to give them appearance of legitimacy” 通过连续转移和交易将非法获得的资金的来源模糊化，使它们看起来合法 Integration 整合 “In order that those same funds can eventually be made to re-appear as legitimate income.” 使这些资金最终以合法收入的身份再次出现 The source of illegally obtained funds is obscured through a succession of transfers and transactions in order that those same funds can eventually be made to reappear as legitimate income Terrorist Financing is the financial support, in any form, of terrorism or those who encourage, plan or engage in it. The common trait between money laundering and terrorist financing is concealment.” ABN AMRO tries to limit money laundering by performing Transaction Monitoring.

10 Examples of other sources for Money Laundering & Terrorist Financing 洗钱及恐怖分子筹资的其他来源举例
Tax Fraud 税务行骗 Counterfeiting Currency 伪钞 Kidnapping 绑架 Extortion 敲诈勒索 Illegal Gambling 非法赌博 Environmental Crimes 环境犯罪 Drugs 毒品 Prostitution 卖淫 Illegal Workers (Human trafficking) 非法劳工（贩卖人口） Fraud 欺骗 Theft 偷窃 Smuggling goods and/or arms 走私商品/武器

11 Sanctions 制裁 Two major financial markets, the EU and the US, apply economic sanctions in certain cases against particular countries to support their foreign policy objectives. 在某些情况下，欧盟和美国两大金融市场对特定国家实施经济制裁来支持其外交政策 Violating EU or US sanction laws can put a bank’s customers at risk of incomplete transactions, frozen assets or criminal and civil penalties and expose our bank / employees to liability. 违反欧盟或美国的制裁法会将一家银行的客户置于不完全交易、冻结资产或者刑事和民事处罚的风险之中，使银行/雇员承受债务 Particular vigilance is needed when a transaction contains a so called CSI (Cuban Sudanese or Iranian) element. 当一个交易牵涉所谓的CSI（古巴、苏丹或伊朗）时，需要特别警惕 Vigilance is also needed when dealing with Myanmar. 和缅甸打交道时也要非常注意 How can violations of sanctions impacts you and the bank? Impact the bank’s ability to do business Damage the bank’s reputation Result in fines and other penalties Potentially give rise to criminal penalties ABN AMRO uses Transaction Filtering to keep unwanted transactions from being processed if they are matched with any of the Sanctions list.

12 Transaction Surveillance 交易监控
Transaction monitoring 交易监测 Monitor post-transaction activity to detect unusual behaviour which requires further analysis (observation and investigation after transactions happen); more subjective 监测交易后的活动以发现需要进一步分析的异常行为（交易发生后的观察与调查）；更主观 Transaction filtering 交易过滤 Filter pre-transaction cross-border activity to comply with OFAC, EU and other Sanctions (immediate action to prevent transactions from being processed) 滤除交易前的跨国活动以遵守外国资产管制处、欧盟及其他制裁（防止交易被处理的立即行动） Ongoing risk assessment means that you are looking at our clients behavior and their counterparties Transaction Filtering Pre-transaction review of cross-border payments to comply with OFAC and EU sanctions (Swift transactions filtering) The system we use is Vergasoft) Requires immediate action to prevent a transaction from happening Transaction Monitoring Post-transaction review of client activities to detect unusual behaviour which requires further analysis (the system used is called Mantas) Concerns observation and investigation of client activities which may happen long after transactions have occurred .

13 II. Dealing with Customers 与客户打交道
Confidentiality 机密性 Client Classification 客户分类 Suitability of Advice 建议的适宜性 Appropriateness 适当 Marketing Communication 营销沟通 Record Keeping 档案保管

14 Confidentiality 机密性 What information is confidential? 哪些信息是机密的？
All information related to a bank that has not been made public (including internal memos, policies, credit applications, employee and supplier data) 所有与银行相关的未公开的信息（包括内部备忘录、政策、员工及供应商资料） All non-public information about existing and prospective clients 所有有关现有和潜在客户的非公开信息 Background Confidentiality is central to what we do as a bank, and is crucial to our clients’ trust in us. Clients provide us with information in the expectation that it will be kept confidential and will be used solely for the business purpose for which it was provided. Therefore, we (ABN AMRO or its staff) may not use that information in another capacity for our own benefit. Both as an organisation and as individuals, we must maintain the confidentiality of any information we obtain in the course of our work. All our employees should be aware that breaches in confidentiality or the use of confidential information for personal purposes are serious offences that may lead to disciplinary action – including dismissal.

15 Confidentiality and common sense 机密性与常识
Be careful with confidential documents in public places (same applies to laptops) 公共场合注意机密文档的处理（同样适用于笔记本电脑） Be careful with conversations while in the presence of others (also on mobile phones) 有他人在场时（手机接听电话时）注意谈话内容的保密 Clear your desk at the end of your working day of any sensitive documents 工作日结束时注意清理桌面上的任何机密文档 Never share your user-id and password with others 不要和他人共用你的用户名和密码 Speaker will share 1-2 examples picked up but also encourage the audience to share experiences.

16 BIG BANG! 大爆炸！ November 2007 2007年11月 MiFID MiFID

MiFID分类：我们与哪些类型的客户打交道？为什么客户分类很重要 Level of Protection 保护水平 Individuals 个人 Small Companies 小公司 Large Companies 大公司 Regulated Firms 规管公司 1. Clients can be classified as: - retail, professional or even eligible counterparties Whereby the level of protection requirements depend on the understanding by the client of the: - relationship between risk and reward and - knowledge of financial instruments available in the market As the level of understanding increases, the level of protection reduces. 2. Classification for existing clients is being managed centrally Procedures for classifying new clients, post MiFiD will be deployed In case of opting up: Written request from client ABN gives clear written warning of protections lost Client agrees in writing (in separate document to contract) Clients may “Opt down” in order to seek a higher level of customer protection or “Opt up” to get access to a wider range of services and products. ABN AMRO may agree or refuse. Depending on the client (classification), investment services and products provided, suitability and appropriateness tests will be performed. Eligible counterparty 符合条件的对手 Retail零售 Professional专业 Size and experience 规模和经验

19 Terminology 术语 Appropriateness合适度 Suitability适宜度
Non Advised Services 非咨询服务 Advisory Services 咨询服务 Does the client understand the risks of the products being sold? 客户明白出售的产品的风险吗？ Does each transaction meet the client’s objectives and risk profile? 每次交易都达到了客户的目标和风险概况了吗？ Appropriateness合适度 Suitability适宜度 Suitability and Appropriateness The three client profiles determine what “duty of care” must be applied in terms of determining the suitability or appropriateness of the services and/or products that are provided. Before we go through what must be applied to whom and when we will first explore the meaning of “testing” suitability and appropriateness. Suitability Suitability must be “tested” (i.e considered) when investment services related to advisory or discretionary services such as investment advice or portfolio management are provided. Appropriateness Appropriateness must be “tested” when other investment services are provided to a client. Testing appropriateness merely determines if a certain product or service is considered appropriate for a particular client given the client’s expertise and knowledge of the product at hand.

When providing a client with investment advice. Does the advice meet a sufficient level ofunderstanding by the client and match the needs of that particular client. Identical questions need to be answered if investmentdecisions are made for a client based on discretionary portfolio management.

29 III. Market Conduct 市场行为
Conflicts of Interest 利益冲突 Chinese Walls 中国墙 Control Room 控制室 Market Abuse 市场滥用

30 Conflicts of Interest 利益冲突
For example:例如： personal / bank interest 个人利益/银行利益 bank interests / clients interest 银行利益/客户利益 - between clients 客户之间的利益 Manage conflicts of interest properly 妥善管理利益冲突 Be transparent and report internally 透明化，内部汇报 Reallocate responsibilities 重新分配职责 Inform client/ask consent if appropriate 如果适当，告知客户/征得客户的同意 A staff member in the exercise of their duties must act fully in the interest of ABN AMRO. All situations whereby a personal interest factor may conflict or may be detrimental to the interest of the Bank must be avoided as much as possible. Because of the wide range of financial services we provide across ABN AMRO, situations arise everyday where one of our legitimate interests competes or conflicts with one or more different operating activities, or with the interest of our Group, our employees or our clients. In certain circumstances, we will be acting for different clients with competing interests. Where such conflicts of interest arise, we follow the compliance procedures and controls created to handle these. It is required to report such a situation to the manager and/or a client. In most situations to avoid even the slightest appearance that a personal interest may have compromised the staff members unbiased position a representative and defendant of the banks’ position, responsibilities will be reallocated to a staff member who does not have such personal interest. Examples personal interest/Bank interest: Staff member involved in a transaction with a corporate client whereby the staff member is a major shareholder Staff member involved in a transaction (including the negotiation of conditions) with a relative or personal friend. Examples conflict of interest between clients: As a bank with a large client base situations may occur whereby ABN AMRO advises or plays a role regarding a transaction of two or more different clients with a competing interest. As to this the saying applies that indicates: “One can not serve two masters at the same time”. The way to solve this is to have the ABN AMRO staff member only serve the interest of one client while letting the other client be served by another person/department or geography. In many cases the client must be informed before taking on the assignment that other clients may be served by AAB as well with a competing interest. Example: AAB advises a client on selling a particular business while another client is interested in buying this business. The AAB representative can not advise/serve both clients at the same time.

31 Chinese Walls 中国墙 What are Chinese Walls? 什么是中国墙？
Barriers created to restrict or prevent movement of information within the bank, to help manage conflicts of interest and protect the confidentiality of client information. 为限制或防止信息在银行内流通而制造的障碍，帮助管理利益冲突，保护客户信息的机密性 What do they look like? 特征？ physical 物理上 organisational 组织上 procedural 程序上 operational 操作上 Banking regulations require us to implement and demonstrate controls, ensuring that (confidential) information held in one area of the bank is not disclosed to another part. One method for doing this is to create internal ‘Chinese Walls’ between relevant areas, to control the way (confidential) information is treated and moved around. Physical: separation of office locations (e.g. dealing rooms and investment advisory, asset management and corporate finance) Organisational: If the risk of breaches is considered too high, we might even consider putting these in a separate legal entity (e.g. private equity) Procedural: policies, procedures, business processes Operational: separate data storage, separate computer drives

32 Chinese Walls Private vs. Public side (Continued) 中国墙：私人方面VS.公共方面（续）
Private Side 私人方面 Public Side 公共方面 Global Clients 全球客户 Global Markets Structured Finance 全球市场结构性金融 Global Markets Sales/ Trading 全球市场销售/交易 Information Barrier信息障碍 Commercial Clients 商业客户 Transaction Banking 交易 Global Markets Research 全球市场研究 Here the presenter makes the distinction between the public and private side of a Chinese wall, not to be confused with an information barrier.

33 Chinese Walls (Continued) 中国墙（续）
In addition, Chinese Walls allow: 此外，中国墙允许： some defence against allegations of misconduct 为不良行为辩护 maximisation of business opportunities across product lines by allowing us to perform many different roles at the same time 通过允许 我们同时负责多种不同的职责来使各个产品线间的商业机会最大化 Examples: 举例: Corporate Finance advises listed company on divestment of subsidiary 公司金融部对上市公司分拆子公司提供建议 Acquisition Finance advises three different bidders 收购金融部建议有三个不同的投标人 Credit Portfolio Management assesses debt capacity for fourth bidder 信贷组合管理部评估第四个投标人的债务能力 Proprietary Trading in trading in the stocks of the listed company 专有交易部对上市公司股票交易提供建议 Private Clients in providing investment advice on the listed company 私人客户部提供上市公司的投资建议 Ask the audience between which of the above disciplines Chinese Walls should be in place and why. Clearly a Chinese wall needs to be in place between Corporate Finance and Acquisition Finance as these departments serve opposite parties, i.e. the seller and potential buyers. The same between Corporate Finance and Credit Portfolio management as CPM is serving a fourth bidder. Still. also a Chinese Wall needs to be in place between CPM and Acquisition Finance as there is conflict between the bidders. Then a Chinese Wall needs to be in place that separates the “Information side” from the “Trading” side. Corporate Finance, Acquisition Finance and Credit Portfolio Management have information related to a listed company that most likely is not public and also price sensitive. If it would flow to Proprietary Trading or Private Clients, it will give rise to a conflict of interest breach. Furthermore, we need to establish a wall between Proprietary Trading and Private Clients. If the audience has paid good attention they will recognise that there is a conflict of interest between clients in Acquisition Finance while the clients are in competition with each other to acquire the same company. The only solution is that Chinese Walls will be raised within the department where each team will need to be assigned to only one client.

Our main functions are: Maintaining the Global Marketing and Watch Lists Maintaining the Global Restricted Trading List Identifying potential conflicts of interest Recording Chinese Wall Crossings and registering Insiders Pre-clearance of Equity and Fixed Income Research Pre-clearance of certain transactions (DSSG, PMG)

35 Market Abuse: Market Manipulation 市场滥用：市场操纵
Spreading false or misleading information about the market, or the price or value of an investment E.g. spreading a rumour and false or misleading news through internet 散布错误的或者误导性的有关市场、投资价格或价值的信息 例如：通过英特网散布谣言或虚假新闻 Acting purely to influence the price of financial instruments E.g. manipulating the price at the closing of markets manipulating the price upward to show a higher portfolio value (usually around month-, quarter-, or year-end) 纯粹为影响金融工具的价格的行为 例如：操纵股市收盘价 操纵价格的上升，显示更高的投资组合价值（一般在月末、季度末或年末时） Doing transactions that create the impression of greater supply and/or demand than exists in reality E.g. doing trades with no economic basis, undertaken simply to give the illusion of activity (manipulation of volume) 做交易以制造比实际更大的供给和/或需求的印象 例如：做没有经济基础的股票买卖，仅仅是为了给予活动频繁的假象（操纵交易量） Clean, orderly and efficient markets are considered paramount to maintain investors’ confidence in the capital markets around the world. Inefficient markets are not attractive to investors and so are difficult for issuers of financial instruments to raise capital. The result of this will be that the cost of capital will rise and economic growth will suffer. We must not encourage or help a client – or anyone else – to behave in a way that prevents the proper operation of market forces, or cooperate with anyone engaging in such behaviour. All EU member states had to implement legislation based on the EU Market Abuse Directive of October 12th 2004, covering these matters. Most EU countries have implemented by the summer of 2005. The market abuse legislation covers: All listed / traded investments, including securities and financial and commodity derivatives Any related instruments or products, e.g. all forms of derivatives whether traded on or off an exchange “Grey Market” dealings Derivatives refer to instruments like options, futures, forwards, swaps, contracts for differences, Grey Markets dealings refers to dealings in instruments that are not traded officially yet but where trading effectively has started already. DISSEMINATION OF FALSE INFORMATION Dissemination of false information: “Which gives, or is likely to give, false or misleading signals as to financial instruments, including the dissemination of rumours and false or misleading news where the person who made the dissemination knows, or ought to have known that the information was false or misleading” A rumour may only be passed on if it is clearly indicated as being a rumour which may be true or false. Starting a rumour is definitely prohibited.

Therefore, we have a formal Gifts and Entertainment Policy. Outline the three elements of the policy on acceptance of gifts. However, sometimes there is a need for flexibility in how we apply the policy. In some cultures, refusing a gift would be regarded as rude. There may also be circumstances where returning the gift would be impractical or impossible. In these circumstances, exceptions apply provided that a number of requirements are met. Outline the conditions. Transparency again as in any (potential) conflict of interest situation is key. Report gifts received that are not meeting the conditions outlined to the manager and solve the issue together! The Gift policy brings us to our Anti corruption and Bribery policy
