We believe that a strong compliance culture is essential for building trust with our clients, partners, and regulators. Our compliance framework is designed to identify, assess, and mitigate risks associated with our business activities, while ensuring that we meet our legal and regulatory obligations.

2. Regulatory Framework

We maintain appropriate licenses and registrations as required by law and cooperate fully with regulatory authorities in all jurisdictions where we operate.

3. Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Policy

AuroraEx is committed to preventing money laundering and terrorist financing through our platform. Our AML policy includes the following key components:

3.1 Customer Due Diligence (CDD)

We conduct appropriate customer due diligence before establishing a business relationship with any client. This includes:

• Verifying the identity of clients using reliable, independent source documents, data, or information
• Identifying beneficial owners of legal entities
• Understanding the nature and purpose of the business relationship
• Conducting ongoing monitoring of the business relationship and transactions

3.2 Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD)

We apply enhanced due diligence measures for higher-risk clients, including:

• Politically exposed persons (PEPs)
• Clients from high-risk jurisdictions
• Clients with complex ownership structures
• Clients engaged in high-risk business activities

3.3 Transaction Monitoring

We monitor client transactions on an ongoing basis to detect suspicious activities. Our transaction monitoring system is designed to identify:

• Unusual transaction patterns
• Transactions that deviate from the client's profile
• Transactions with high-risk jurisdictions
• Structured transactions designed to evade reporting requirements
• Transactions that may be related to money laundering, terrorist financing, or other illegal activities

3.4 Suspicious Activity Reporting

We report suspicious activities to the appropriate authorities as required by law. Our employees are trained to identify and report suspicious activities, and we have established clear procedures for internal reporting and escalation.

4. Know Your Customer (KYC) Procedures

Our KYC procedures are designed to ensure that we know the identity of our clients and understand their financial activities. These procedures include:

4.1 Identity Verification

We verify the identity of our clients using reliable, independent source documents, data, or information. This may include:

• Government-issued identification documents (e.g., passport, driver's license, national ID)
• Proof of address (e.g., utility bills, bank statements)
• Biometric verification (where applicable)
• Electronic verification through trusted third-party providers

4.2 Business Entity Verification

For business entities, we collect and verify additional information, including:

• Certificate of incorporation or equivalent document
• Memorandum and articles of association
• Board resolution authorizing the opening of the account
• Identification of directors, officers, and beneficial owners
• Business activity and source of funds

4.3 Ongoing Monitoring

We conduct ongoing monitoring of our client relationships to ensure that the information we hold is accurate and up-to-date. This includes:

• Periodic review of client information
• Updating client information when changes occur
• Monitoring transactions for consistency with the client's profile
• Reassessing the client's risk profile as needed

5. Risk-Based Approach

We apply a risk-based approach to compliance, allocating our resources based on the level of risk associated with different clients, products, services, and jurisdictions. This approach allows us to focus our efforts on areas of higher risk while maintaining appropriate controls across all aspects of our business.

Our risk assessment methodology considers various factors, including:

• Client risk (e.g., occupation, source of wealth, PEP status)
• Product and service risk (e.g., complexity, liquidity, anonymity)
• Geographic risk (e.g., high-risk jurisdictions, sanctions)
• Channel risk (e.g., non-face-to-face relationships, third-party involvement)

Based on this assessment, we apply appropriate risk mitigation measures, including enhanced due diligence, transaction monitoring, and other controls as needed.

6. Sanctions Compliance

AuroraEx is committed to complying with all applicable sanctions regimes, including those imposed by the United Nations, the European Union, the United States, and other relevant jurisdictions. Our sanctions compliance program includes:

• Screening clients against sanctions lists during onboarding and on an ongoing basis
• Monitoring transactions for potential sanctions violations
• Blocking transactions involving sanctioned individuals, entities, or jurisdictions
• Reporting potential sanctions violations to the appropriate authorities
• Training employees on sanctions compliance

7. Data Protection and Privacy

We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our clients' personal information. Our data protection and privacy practices comply with applicable laws and regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable.
