We separately assess any other regulatory requirements that may apply.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Is registration enough to meet compliance obligations?<\/summary><p>No. FINTRAC sets compliance, customer due diligence, record-keeping and reporting obligations, depending on the activities. The proposal should address how the business will maintain its processes and information.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>Do you guarantee registration or an approval date?<\/summary><p>No. The outcome and timing depend on the authority, eligibility and information provided. The engagement defines the professional work and scope of support, without promising approvals or bank accounts.<\/p><\/details><details><summary>What does the USD 95 assessment include?<\/summary><p>A 60-minute online session to understand the project, identify priorities and define the support needed.
