FICA Compliant Client Onboarding Form- Free Template | Compliance for South African Law Firms

The risks of onboarding a client without the right compliance tools are real — missed red flags, failed inspections, and trust account jeopardy.

This video breaks down why a structured, FICA-compliant onboarding form is essential for South African law firms, and what yours should include to stay protected.

This FICA-aligned onboarding form covers:

Client identification (FICA s21(1))

Beneficial ownership & UBO declarations (Directive 4, FICA s21B)

Third-party payor risk checks (FICA s21A, PCC 4B)

PEP / FPPO declarations (FICA s21F, PCC 1 & PCC 3A)

POPIA-aligned client consent for screening & processing (FICA s22 + POPIA)

Document checklist for audit-readiness (Guidance Note 7A, FICA s21(2))

Flexible structure for individual clients, companies, trusts, and guardians acting on behalf of others

Why this matters:

Avoid missed risk flags that could trigger fines or LPC scrutiny

Standardise your client intake — even for admin or junior staff

Replace informal processes with an enforceable, inspection-ready system

Back up your RMCP with real documentation and daily enforcement
Download the form free until 30 April 2025:

After that, it will once more be reserved exclusively for RMCP development clients.
