After submitting the due diligence application, HFU will thoroughly review the information as it is critical to ensuring effective risk management. This is why due diligence applications can be rejected if the application is incomplete or if the implementing partner does not meet the minimum requirements. Implementing partners can then be asked to re-draft and re-submit their due diligence application.
Please note: it is at the discretion of each Country Based Pooled Fund (CBPF) to add any mandatory or optional requirements to the registration and due diligence stage. Each CBPF can decide whether the registration and due diligence steps are open to any interested prospective implementing partners, or strictly by invitation.

OneGMS Focus: Agency Compliance Business Role When approving a partner OneGMS user, the HFU should ask the organisation whether they would like to restrict access to the due diligence. If so, the HFU will assign the specific user a Compliance business role. As a result, only the designated person(s) within the organisation can access the due diligence. Please note: if no one was assigned the Compliance business role, everyone within the organisation with a OneGMS access will be able to access the due diligence. |
