Why Compliance Matters

Motor vehicle dealerships are vulnerable to money laundering because vehicles are high-value assets that can be purchased, transferred, financed, or resold to disguise the proceeds of crime. Compliance with FICA helps protect your business from financial crime, strengthens customer confidence, and ensures that your dealership meets its legal obligations.

Failure to comply may result in regulatory inspections, administrative sanctions, financial penalties, and reputational damage.
