QUESTION 1 Read the article below and answer all the questions that follow. Standard Bank fined R13 million for violating FIC Act Regulations [15] The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) said in a statement on Friday that the Prudential Authority (PA) had imposed a R13 million administrative sanctions penalty on the Standard Bank of South Africa Limited (SBSA) due to non-compliance with certain provisions of the FIC Act. SARB said that the Prudential Authority (PA) is mandated to supervise and enforce compliance by accountable institutions with the provisions of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act 38 of 2001 (FIC Act) or any order, determination, or directive made in terms thereof. “The PA has imposed administrative sanctions on The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited (SBSA) as a result of its non-compliance with certain provisions of the FIC Act, following an inspection conducted on SBSA in terms of section 45B of the FIC Act in 2022.” SARB added that the administrative sanctions imposed on SBSA are due to its failure to comply with certain provisions of the FIC Act and consist of six cautions not to repeat the conduct which led to the non-compliance and a financial penalty totalling R13 million. “The administrative sanctions imposed on SBSA stem from the following non compliance: SBSA failed to comply with section 21C of the FIC Act by not conducting ongoing due diligence on two of its clients, with no due diligence reviews undertaken in 2018 and 2019.” SARB said that the PA imposed a caution not to repeat the conduct which led to the non-compliance. “SBSA failed to comply with section 23(c) of the FIC Act by not keeping a record of the dates on which 43 suspicious and unusual transaction reports (STRs) or suspicious and unusual activity reports (SARs) were submitted to the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC). The PA imposed a caution not to repeat the conduct which led to the non-compliance. SBSA failed to comply with section 28 of the FIC Act by not timeously reporting 1,466 cash transaction reports and/or cash transaction aggregation reports to the FIC.” 2026 RSK4804 Assignment 1 SARB added that the PA imposed a caution not to repeat the conduct which led to the non-compliance. “SBSA failed to comply with section 29 of the FIC Act by not timeously reporting 17,259 STRs and/or SARs to the FIC. The PA imposed a caution not to repeat the conduct which led to the non-compliance and a financial penalty of R4 million. SBSA failed to comply with section 29 of the FIC Act by not reporting one STR to the FIC.” SARB said that the PA imposed a caution not to repeat the conduct which led to the non-compliance and a financial penalty of R1 million. “SBSA failed to comply with FIC Act Directive 5 of 2019 in that: 75,729 automated transaction monitoring system alerts were not timeously attended to within 48 hours; and 94,558 STR/SAR alerts were closed beyond the 15-day reporting period as per regulation 24(3) of the Regulations to the FIC Act. The PA imposed a caution not to repeat the conduct which led to the non-compliance and a financial penalty of R8 million.” SARB added that the PA confirms that SBSA cooperated with them and has undertaken the necessary remedial action to address the identified compliance deficiencies and control weaknesses.

ASSIGNMENT 1 2026

UNIQUE NO. 265691
DUE DATE: 29 MAY 2026

, Credit Risk Management - RSK4804

Assignment 01 2026

QUESTION 1

1.1 Five risks applicable in this case with reasons

1. Compliance Risk

Standard Bank faced compliance risk because it failed to comply with several provisions
of the Financial Intelligence Centre Act (FIC Act), including sections 21C, 23(c), 28 and
29. The bank did not perform ongoing due diligence, failed to keep proper records, and
did not report transactions within the required timeframes. This exposed the institution
to regulatory penalties and sanctions.

2. Operational Risk

Operational risk arose from weaknesses in the bank’s internal systems and processes.
The automated transaction monitoring system generated thousands of alerts that were
not attended to within the required 48 hours. This indicates ineffective operational
controls and poor processing systems.

3. Reputational Risk

The publication of the R13 million fine damaged Standard Bank’s reputation.
Customers, investors and stakeholders may lose confidence in the bank’s ability to
manage compliance and financial crime obligations effectively. Negative publicity can
reduce customer trust and future business opportunities.

4. Money Laundering Risk

The failure to conduct proper due diligence and delayed reporting of suspicious
transactions increased the risk that illegal transactions could pass through the bank
