We abide by our Anti-Money Laundering (AML) policies that are generally based on the highest standard and apply in relation to all of our business in all of our offices. The firm conducts client due diligence enquiries on each new client and persons connected with them and conducts ongoing monitoring of existing clients. These enquiries are based on the requirements of the Proceeds of Crime and Anti-Money Laundering Act, CAP 59B of the Laws of Kenya. Additional information may also be obtained if required by any applicable local rules. Where necessary for these purposes, we may seek relevant information from third-party data suppliers. Where individuals have supplied personal data for this purpose we will only use it for that purpose and will keep it only as long as the relevant AML and data protection legislation requires.

The firm also has internal procedures to ensure that any suspicions of money laundering are reported to the appropriate authorities where there is an obligation to do so.

  2. using our best endeavors to ensure that those who perform services for and on behalf of the firm are aware of and share our commitment to conducting business ethically.

The firm is committed to transparency on its ethical standards and anti-bribery and anti-corruption initiatives, and has established procedures that are described in our Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption Policy to encourage all members of the firm to report instances or allegations of policy violations.
