Client Due Diligence (CDD)
Documents identifying or authorizing a natural person to conduct transactions on behalf of a legal person are required as part of client due diligence process.

Measures for enhanced CDD for sensitive countries, sensitive business and higher risk clients, are largely defined in our practice.
