aml-kyc-pack

/aml-kyc-pack

Produce the AML/KYC paperwork a Kosovo financial firm must run: due diligence, screening, risk rating, and the FIU reports. This drafts compliance artifacts grounded in current law — it is not legal advice and not a substitute for the firm's AML/compliance officer, who owns the decisions and the filings.

Anchor: Law No. 05/L-096 on Prevention of Money Laundering and Combating Terrorist Financing (it superseded the older 03/L-196) + the BQK AML/CFT rule. Reports go to the FIU (NJIF / FIU-K). Several thresholds below are verify-items — confirm against the primary law before relying.

Usage

/aml-kyc-pack $ARGUMENTS

Examples:

• /aml-kyc-pack CDD pack for a new corporate borrower, SH.P.K. with two owners
• /aml-kyc-pack screen this client — foreign director, what EDD do I need?
• /aml-kyc-pack draft a cash transaction report, client deposited €14,000
• /aml-kyc-pack draft an STR — structured deposits just under the threshold
• /aml-kyc-pack risk-rate this customer

Flow 1 — Customer Due Diligence (CDD) pack

CDD FILE — [Customer]                 Opened: [DD.MM.YYYY]  Officer: [____]

IDENTIFICATION
  Natural person: full name, ID/passport no., DOB, address, nationality — verified by [doc]
  Legal person:   name, ARBK no., fiscal/VAT no., registered address, articles
                  authorised representative (ID), purpose of relationship

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
  Identify & verify UBO(s) — natural persons owning/controlling the legal person
  (threshold typically ≥25% — VERIFY against 05/L-096). Ownership chain documented.

SCREENING
  Sanctions screen against FIU-K lists:      [ ] clear  [ ] hit → freeze & report
  PEP screen (self, family, close associates): [ ] none  [ ] domestic  [ ] foreign

RISK RATING (see Flow 2):  [ ] standard  [ ] high → EDD

SOURCE OF FUNDS / WEALTH (for higher risk or large flows): [____]

RECORD: retain CDD + identification ≥ 5 years (verify start point: relationship end vs transaction).

Flow 2 — Risk rating & EDD triggers

Rate the customer, then apply enhanced due diligence if any trigger fires:

Risk factor	Standard	Enhanced (EDD)
PEP	None	Foreign PEP (verify identity + establish source of funds; domestic-PEP treatment: verify)
Geography	Kosovo / low-risk	High-risk / sanctioned jurisdictions
Customer type	Transparent ownership	Opaque structures, nominees, bearer instruments
Transaction	Routine, explained	Complex, unusually large, no apparent economic purpose
Product	Standard	Cash-intensive, cross-border, anonymity-friendly

EDD = senior-management approval to onboard/continue (verify requirement), enhanced verification, source-of-funds/wealth, and closer ongoing monitoring.

Flow 3 — Cash Transaction Report (CTR)

CASH TRANSACTION REPORT — to FIU (NJIF)
  Reporting entity: [firm, license no.]
  Customer: [name, ID/ARBK]
  Transaction: [date, amount EUR, currency, type — deposit/withdrawal/exchange]
  Linked transactions considered: [yes/no — structuring is prohibited]
  Trigger: cash of EUR 10,000 or more (single or linked)
  Filed by: [compliance officer]   Date filed: [____]

Threshold EUR 10,000 (single or linked transactions); splitting to avoid it (structuring) is prohibited. The 15-working-day filing window is confirmed for DNFBPs (lawyers/notaries/accountants); whether banks/financial institutions report on the same cycle is a verify-item — confirm the institution-specific mechanics with BQK/FIU.

Flow 4 — Suspicious Transaction Report (STR)

When there are reasonable grounds to suspect ML/TF, draft an STR — and report promptly (institution-side deadline: verify; "without delay" is the safe assumption):

SUSPICIOUS TRANSACTION REPORT — to FIU (NJIF)
  Reporting entity / officer: [____]
  Subject(s): [name(s), ID/ARBK, account/relationship]
  Activity observed: [factual description — dates, amounts, pattern]
  Why suspicious: [structuring / no economic rationale / mismatch with profile / ...]
  Supporting records attached: [list]
  Action taken: [continued / declined / frozen — note tipping-off prohibition]

⚠️ Do not tip off the customer that an STR is being filed. Keep the STR and supporting records secure.

Reference (cache)

• Law 05/L-096; BQK AML/CFT rule; reports to FIU (NJIF / FIU-K) (fiu.rks-gov.net).
• CTR threshold: EUR 10,000 (single/linked); structuring prohibited.
• Record retention: ≥ 5 years.
• Compliance/AML officer required; internal controls, screening, escalation, filing.
• Cross-check you're reading 05/L-096: NGO cash limits (€500/day, €5,000/year) and 3-business-day NGO STR rule appear in the same law.

What this skill does NOT do

• Not legal/compliance sign-off. The compliance officer reviews, decides, and files.
• Does not screen live against sanctions/PEP databases — it structures the check; the firm runs it against FIU-K lists and its screening tool.
• Does not state unverified thresholds as settled — beneficial-ownership %, institution STR/CTR deadlines, and PEP scope are verify-items (see research/kosovo-financial-sector.md).
• Does not transmit to the FIU — it drafts the report; submission is the firm's act.

Tips

1. Identify before transacting. No verified identity → no relationship under 05/L-096.
2. Document the "why" on STRs in plain facts — dates, amounts, the pattern — not conclusions.
3. Never tip off, and restrict who sees an STR.
4. Keep everything 5 years. Onboarding docs, screening results, reports.
5. Confirm the institution-specific reporting mechanics with BQK/FIU — the 15-day rule is a DNFBP figure.
