Acams Advanced-CAMS-Audit Exam - Topic 4 Question 30 Discussion

When sample testing client transaction records, the auditor finds that a client offered to sell a piece of art on a commission basis. A sale was completed and the purchase price was remitted to the client with less commission. What further investigation should the auditor undertake?
B) Perform enhanced due diligence on the seller and buyer and update client records with findings
A) Update the national art registry with the sale price of the art work so that art-based money laundering can be detected.
C) Review procedures for accepting commission sales and determining the buyer's source of funds on a best effort basis
D) Commission an external investigator to perform enhanced due diligence on the buyer. Enhanced due diligence is necessary to identify potential risks associated with high-value transactions such as art sales, a known method for money laundering. CAMS-Audit guidelines recommend updating client records with findings to maintain transparency and prepare for regulatory scrutiny. This approach ensures compliance with due diligence requirements and mitigates reputational and financial crime risks.

I feel like we practiced a similar question where we had to assess risks in art transactions. I think option D could be relevant, but it seems a bit extreme to hire an external investigator.

I’m not entirely sure, but I think reviewing procedures for commission sales, like in option C, might also be important to ensure compliance.

I remember we discussed the importance of enhanced due diligence in high-value transactions, especially with art sales. It seems like B could be the right choice.
