100-AML-Red-Flags-for-Accountants-and-Chartered-Accountants-in-India.

CORE CURRICULUM · INDIA · PMLA / FIU-IND / FATF FOR ACCOUNTING PROFESSIONALS

Since the 2023 PMLA notifications, a wide range of Indian accounting and advisory professionals — not just banks — can be classified as Reporting Entities under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002.

What's inside:

• 100 AML red flags organized into 8 categories: Client Onboarding, Accounting Records, Tax & GST, Corporate Structures, Banking Activity, Real Estate, Gold/Diamonds/Precious Stones, and International & FATF

• Written specifically for Chartered Accountants, Cost Accountants, tax advisors, auditors, company secretaries, forensic accountants, and trust/company service providers

• Covers KYC, UBO, and PEP red flags at client onboarding through to blacklisted-jurisdiction and sanctions exposure

• Grounded in PMLA, FIU-IND, and FATF frameworks specific to Indian accounting practice

Why the cost makes sense: a PMLA money-laundering conviction can carry imprisonment of up to 7 years (up to 10 for predicate offences such as narcotics-related cases) plus confiscation of proceeds, and FIU-IND reporting failures carry penalties from ₹10,000 to ₹1,00,000 per violation, with systemic failures reaching multi-crore penalties and possible ICAI/ICSI debarment. For $49, this guide teaches the 100 warning signs regulators expect every reporting-entity professional to already recognize.
