Hence green. Nina — was NCA completed? We can't see it reflected in dbCAR (still appears delinquent) but I know that is part of the broader conversation that Julia is having with Paul Chapman.

EFTA01406765 In these instances, the GM products will not be offboarded if another business has asked to retain and the KYC/ACO responsibility sits with that business. However, please also be aware that this is a High Risk client which is KYC deficient and was last reviewed in 2015. Please let me know if any other questions.

EFTA01406769 So Rita who is the Case Manager seems to suggest that she sees Southern Financial Red and therefore we cannot extend it to Credit Derivatives, while we think we should see this Green from a KCP perspective. Bu you explain to me that the Red might be only when it comes to your ICG world. Can you pls clarify if this client is Red for everyone including KCP and if so how do we turn it Green, as discussed this is an example of a KCP Americas account that is ACOed by us, in this case myself.
