Jakarta. In a bid to reinforce its compliance framework, KAPLL has fully integrated its anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-financing of terrorism (CFT) system with the standards set by Indonesia’s financial intelligence unit, PPATK.
The initiative underscores KAPLL’s commitment to regulatory rigor and risk management: from enhanced customer due diligence (KYC) to continuous risk monitoring and timely reporting of suspicious activities.
By aligning its architecture with PPATK’s protocols, KAPLL aims to bolster its “compliance fortress” — ensuring that all transactions are screened for legitimacy and any signs of misuse for illicit financing are flagged and escalated appropriately.
This integration comes at a time when Indonesia is strengthening its AML/CFT framework through wider regulatory reforms. For instance, the OJK issued new comprehensive regulations in 2023 that extend AML/CFT and proliferation-financing (PF) obligations to additional financial players and innovations.
In practice, KAPLL’s upgraded system will allow:
- A seamless linkage of internal compliance controls to PPATK’s reporting channels.
- Enhanced detection capabilities via risk-based monitoring of customer profiles, geographic exposure and product lines.
- Immediate response protocols for transactions flagged under suspicion or tied to designated individuals/entities under sanction lists.
- A stronger governance framework featuring oversight by senior management and a dedicated compliance function internalised within KAPLL.
As Indonesia’s legal-regulatory environment evolves — with stricter standards for sanction-evasion, beneficial-ownership transparency and asset recovery — KAPLL’s move illustrates how private actors can proactively align with the broader national compliance agenda.
In summary, KAPLL’s integration of its AML/CFT mechanism with PPATK’s standard not only raises its internal compliance bar, but also contributes to Indonesia’s larger goal of financial integrity and resilience against illicit flows.
