This scope  is designed for funds domiciled in the US and  meets the  U.S. standards for Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) identity verification. It may not be suitable for funds domiciled in other jurisdictions. 

This scope of service is a supplemental service to support a BSA/AML program that is owned by the Client. 

If contracted for KYC as a service, please note that Carta does not act as the Client’s BSA/AML Officer; supplemental Compliance Officer, and/or General Counsel.

The contracted service does not replace the need for an independent BSA/AML program owned by the Client. 

This scope of service does not include nor does Carta provide guidance to the Client in regards to customer/investor risk, customer compliance, geographic risk, or compliance/legal ramifications of non-compliance to BSA or other applicable regulations.  The Client owns the compliance risk and ultimately responsibility for their own BSA/AML program.
