The duties under the German Money Laundering Act (Geldwäschegesetz, GwG) are unpopular but unrelenting: identification, documentation, and a report where there is doubt. NotarFlow runs the duties per matter as a checklist and files the documentation so it stands up to an audit.
The fitting GwG checklist comes into being with the matter: who has to be identified, which evidence is needed, whether enhanced due diligence applies. None of it has to be carried in someone’s head.
Copies of identity documents, register extracts, powers of attorney: everything sits with the matter, with the date it was recorded and where it came from. Nothing is missing at the notarisation, and years later it can be shown what was on file when.
The anti-money-laundering documentation comes into being along the way and can be called up in audit-proof form. Whether a set of facts has to be reported is not decided by the system: findings are put to you, and the assessment stays with the notary.
