Posted by Sabine on May 15, 2026 at 11:24 AM

According to a reputable financial news source, a client is being taken over by one of its competitors. The public registry has not yet reflected the ownership change. Which step should the KYC analyst take?

Suggested Answer: A

Until the ownership change is officially recorded in a public registry, the KYC analyst should obtain legal documents directly from the client to verify the current ownership structure and maintain accurate CDD records.
