# Multi-Jurisdictional Compliance — KYC/AML in One Structure

## One Structure — Many Jurisdictions

A gambling operator working across several jurisdictions finds itself in a single KYC/AML space: the obligations of the Georgian accountable person extend to the activity of the group’s other members as the Law on Facilitating the Suppression of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing defines. Three norms create the frame of this space: enhanced preventive measures, high-risk jurisdictions and group-level compliance control.

The practical conclusion is simple: multi-jurisdictionality does not dissolve KYC/AML — it consolidates it into one system on loan. That is why planning the structure should begin with the design of compliance, and not the other way around.

### What is the core of enhanced measures?

Additional information on the client and beneficial owner, increased frequency of updates, substantiation of transaction purposes and senior management permission.

### How does jurisdictional screening work?

Through the National Bank’s list: a connection with a high-risk jurisdiction — registration, management, residence or a financial institution — triggers proportionate enhancement.

### Who builds the group-level system?

The head enterprise registered in Georgia — through rules of information dissemination, provision to the control unit and confidentiality.

### What happens in case of restriction?

Timely information to the supervisor and additional measures; their insufficiency reaches restriction or cessation of the subsidiary or branch.
