In the context of forensic cryptocurrency investigations, which statement best describes how attribution data are collected?
Attribution data involves linking blockchain addresses to real-world entities, which is derived from a combination of public sources (blockchain explorers, public databases) and non-public sources (law enforcement databases, commercial analytics, exchange records).
Relying solely on blockchain data (C) or darknet sources (D) is insufficient. Business records (A) are part of non-public sources.
DFSA and FATF AML guidance underscore the multi-source approach for effective forensic attribution.
Which level of an organization is ultimately responsible for risk oversight?
The ultimate responsibility for risk oversight lies with the Board of Directors. Senior management and the board have the fiduciary and governance duty to ensure that an effective risk management framework, including AML/CFT controls and cryptoasset-specific risks, is in place and functioning properly.
The DFSA GEN Module and AML Module explicitly allocate the highest accountability for compliance and risk oversight to the Board of Directors, while first and second lines support implementation and oversight respectively. The Chief Risk Officer (CRO) supports risk management but the board maintains ultimate accountability.
Key extracts:
GEN Module, Chapter 5: ''Responsibility for compliance lies with every member of senior management, with ultimate oversight by the Board.''
AML Module Section 1.2 & 4.1: ''Senior management and Board must ensure appropriate systems and controls for AML/CFT risk management.''
FATF Recommendation 2 underscores that senior management and boards are accountable for effective AML governanceGEN/VER64/05-24: Chapter 5; AML/VER25/05-24: Sections 1.2, 4.1.
Thus, D is the correct answer.
Which of the following would you review as part of standard due diligence? (Select Two.)
Standard due diligence typically involves reviewing negative news and verifying beneficial ownership to understand the customer's background and potential risk factors.
Dark web forums (B) and blockchain exposure (D) are more advanced or enhanced due diligence techniques, used when higher risk is identified.
Which blockchain type is accessible only to a single organization?
Private blockchains are controlled by a single organization with full access restrictions. This model is often used for internal record-keeping but lacks the decentralized trust of public chains.
To identify and assess the money laundering risks emerging from virtual assets, countries should ensure that virtual asset service providers are: (Select Two.)
To effectively mitigate money laundering risks in the virtual asset sector, countries must ensure that Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) are subject to AML regulations (B), which provide the legal framework for risk-based customer due diligence and reporting suspicious activities. Additionally, VASPs must maintain effective monitoring systems (C) that enable the detection and reporting of suspicious transactions.
While connection to regulated financial institutions (A) and beneficial ownership evaluation (E) are important components of AML frameworks, the foundational requirements per FATF and DFSA guidance focus on regulatory oversight and operational controls.
Jurisdictional regulatory expectations (D) influence enforcement but do not replace the need for direct AML regulatory application on VASPs.
