AML/CFT platform · Slovakia and Czechia

People and authority

You know who is in the room. Who can they act for?

You speak to a representative, but the agreement is with a company. You need to know both, and what the representative is authorised to do. AMLUM is designed to keep those roles distinct and connected to their supporting evidence.

People in context

The same act of signing can involve different roles.

A represented company, an individual client and a minor: choose a situation to see whose role matters.

Illustrative example

Illustration of identity and representation

An authorised representative acts for the company.

Illustrative property transaction: the company is the client; another person conducts the discussions.

Assess the basis and scope for the specific act.

Context
What this means

The representative’s identity and authority belong to representation. Ownership and control remain a separate question.

The client acts in their own name.

The person’s identity is assessed alongside the purpose and circumstances of the case.

Questions follow the relevant legal profile.

Context
What this means

The information required follows the situation; entering a name alone does not complete the review.

The client and their legal representative are two people.

When a minor is represented, both identities and their relationship need to remain distinct.

Evidence depends on the case and legal framework.

Context
What this means

The representative’s information does not replace the client’s identity. The basis on which they act also matters.

In depthThe right questions start with your work.

Starting the case

The right questions start with your work.

A company using a representative raises different questions from a person acting for themselves. AMLUM is designed to select questions for the service and situation; country and legal profile also determine the professional scope.

Your organisation reviews the client. A representative acts for that client. Their identity document does not replace identification of the client itself.

From information to review

Three answers matter when someone signs.

Who the person is, what they may do and who owns the company are separate questions.

Is the identity supported?

Information needs a source, date and verification result. A name or document number does not explain the check performed.

How a fact connects to evidence

What does the authority cover?

A director, authorised representative, guardian or legal representative needs an evidenced basis and scope of authority. A role title is not enough.

Who owns or controls the company?

Ownership and control require separate checks. Being a director does not automatically make someone a beneficial owner.

Questions worth clarifying early

Does every client answer the same questions?

The proposed process considers the legal profile, service, client type and circumstances. Questions should reflect what is relevant to the specific client and business case.

Will AMLUM validate every power of attorney automatically?

An authorised person assesses the basis, scope and current validity of the authority. AMLUM is designed to link the evidence and retain that assessment, without automatically providing legal validation of the document.

Put the people in your deals in context.

Do you deal with an owner, a director or another representative? We will use an illustrative example to show why the distinction matters.
