| anti money laundering training: Anti-Money Laundering in a Nutshell Kevin Sullivan, 2015-07-14 Anti–Money Laundering in a Nutshellis a concise, accessible, and practical guide to compliance with anti–money laundering law for financial professionals, corporate investigators, business managers, and all personnel of financial institutions who are required, under penalty of hefty fines, to get anti–money laundering training. Money laundering is endemic. As much as 5 percent of global GDP ($3.6 trillion) is laundered by criminals each year. It’s no wonder that every financial institution in the United States—including banks, credit card companies, insurers, securities brokerages, private funds, and money service businesses—must comply with complex examination, training, and reporting requirements mandated by a welter of federal anti–money laundering (AML) laws. Ignorance of crime is no excuse before the law. Financial institutions and businesses that unknowingly serve as conduits for money laundering are no less liable to prosecution and fines than those that condone or abet it. In Anti–Money Laundering in a Nutshell: Awareness and Compliance for Financial Personnel and Business Managers, Kevin Sullivan draws on a distinguished career as an AML agent and consultant to teach personnel in financial institutions what money laundering is, who does it, how they do it, how to prevent it, how to detect it, and how to report it in compliance with federal law. He traces the dynamic interplay among employees, regulatory examiners, compliance officers, fraud and forensic accountants and technologists, criminal investigators, and prosecutors in following up on reports, catching launderers, and protecting the integrity and reputations of financial institutions and businesses. In particular, corporate investigators will gain rich insights winnowed from the author's experiences as a New York State and federal investigator. |

| anti money laundering training: Anti-Money Laundering Compliance and the Legal Profession Sarah Kebbell, 2021-11-29 Money laundering is a global issue and there is evidence that the services provided by the legal profession may be misused to launder the proceeds of crime. This book explores the experiences of professionals within Top 50 law firms when seeking to comply with the UK’s anti-money laundering (AML) regime. The book draws upon empirical evidence from 40 in-depth interviews with solicitors and compliance personnel from 20 Top 50 law firms. Access to this section of the legal profession is challenging in the context of academic research, and the research provides an account, seldom heard in academic literature, directly from practitioners. The book uses these research findings to explore and discuss the AML compliance issues faced by this section of the profession. It highlights the challenges presented by the legislative architecture of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, and considers compliance issues relating to customer due diligence, AML training, the client account and the suspicious activity reporting regime. It also considers participants’ perceptions of the regime, their role within it, and their own assessment of money laundering risk. It concludes by using this evidence to recommend amendments to current AML policy and legislation. This book will be of interest to students and researchers studying Financial Crime Law, Business and Company Law, and White Collar Crime, as well as policy makers in the areas of money laundering, compliance, and corruption. |

| anti money laundering training: Handbook of Anti-Money Laundering Dennis Cox, 2014-10-23 Effectively implement comprehensive anti-money laundering regulations Handbook of Anti-Money Laundering details the most up-to-date regulations and provides practical guidance toward implementation. While most books focus on the regulations themselves, this useful guide goes further by explaining their meaning to bank operations, and how the rules apply to real-life scenarios. The international perspective provides a broader understanding of the anti-money laundering controls that are in place worldwide, with certain country-specific details discussed in-depth. Coverage includes the Wolfsberg Principles, Financial Action Task Force guidance, the U.S. Patriot Act, and the latest from both the EU and Bank for International Settlements. The IMF estimates that two to five per cent of the global GDP – $590 billion to $1.5 trillion – is laundered every year. Globally, banks and other financial institutions have been required to put in place specific arrangements to prevent and detect money laundering and the criminal activity that underlies it. This book provides the latest regulations and guidance toward application. Understand what money laundering regulations mean in practice Reference international and country-specific rules and regulations Get up to speed on the most current regulations and practices Implement the most effective anti-money laundering measures In response to the increased monitoring and regulation, money launderers have become more sophisticated at disguising the source of their funds. Financial institutions' employees must be ever more aware of what they're facing, and how to deal with it, making actionable guidance a critical companion to any regulatory information. For financial institutions seeking more thorough understanding and practical advice, the Handbook of Anti-Money Laundering is a comprehensive guide. |

| anti money laundering training: Anti-Money Laundering Rose Chapman, 2018-05-03 It is estimated that between 2 and 5 per cent of global GDP (over $3 trillion) is laundered by criminals around the world every year.

| anti money laundering training: Trade-Based Money Laundering John A. Cassara, 2015-11-09 Uncover the financial fraud that funds terrorist organizations Trade-Based Money Laundering is an authoritative examination of this burgeoning phenomenon, now coming under scrutiny in the War on Terror. This book walks you through the signs and patterns of trade-based money laundering (TBML) to help you recognize it when it occurs, and shows you how data and analytics can be used to detect it. You'll learn the common value transfer techniques including invoice fraud, over-and-under invoicing, and misrepresentation, and learn why analytic detection systems have yet to be implemented despite the existence of copious data. Case studies from around the world highlight the real-life implications of the concepts and processes presented in the text, giving you a first-hand view of the mechanisms at work inside this expanding illegal market. Trade-based money laundering uses trade to convert large quantities of illicit cash into less conspicuous assets or commodities to evade financial transparency laws and regulations. As an ideal funding mechanism for terrorist groups, the practice is getting more attention even as it increases in scale and spread. This book takes you deep inside TBML to better arm you against its occurrence. Learn the typical value transfer techniques of TBML Examine case studies detailing international examples Discover why institutions have failed to implement detection systems Explore ways in which analytics can identify TBML According to the U.S. State Department, TBML has reached staggering proportions in recent years, and is considered by many to be the next frontier of international money laundering enforcement. Trade-Based Money Laundering gives you a battle plan, with expert insight and real-world guidance. |
| anti money laundering training: National and International Anti-money Laundering Law Benjamin Vogel, Jean-Baptiste Maillart, 2020 Présentation de l'éditeur : While Anti-Money Laundering instruments are ever increasing in scope and complexity, policymakers have often lost sight of the objectives pursued. As a consequence, legislation is, in many cases, shaped by unrealistic political expectations and inconsistent design. Against this backdrop, this book explains key deficiencies of existing law and develops policy proposals to enhance both effectiveness and respect for fundamental rights. To this end, it thoroughly examines the interplay between criminal justice, regulatory law and data protection rules in Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, and contrasts these findings with the frameworks of the Financial Action Task Force and of the European Union. The results of this collaborative research project emphasise the need to approach Anti-Money Laundering as a complex architecture that consists of numerous diverse but highly interdependent areas of law. Reform debates must therefore overcome a fragmented vision, in particular as regards the shape of criminal proceedings, the function of Financial Intelligence Units and supervisory authorities, the aims of private sector involvement and the scope of public-private information sharing. Only then does one learn from past mistakes and avoid ill-conceived remedies that ultimately fail to adapt supranational standards to the institutional and constitutional reality of countries' domestic legal order. |

| anti money laundering training: The Risk-Based Approach to Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Ehi Eric Esoimeme, 2015-07-21 Governments around the world have made the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism a priority. Among its effort is the implementation of the Financial Action Task Force Recommendations, specifically Recommendation 1. The FATF Recommendations (Recommendation 1) requires that countries mandate financial institutions and designated non-financial businesses and professions (DNFBPs), to adopt a risk-based approach to combating money laundering and terrorist financing. This book aims to provide a clear understanding of what the risk-based approach involves. In addition to this, it differentiates the risk-based approach from the rule-based approach and determines if the risk-based approach interferes with the human rights of high-risk customers.Internationally, this book would be the first comprehensive book on the subject of the Risk-Based Approach. This book would help financial institutions and designated non-financial institutions with any problem regarding the application of the risk-based approach.Financial institutions/DNFBPs who implement the risk-based approach, in line with the guidance given in this book, will be well-placed to avoid the consequences of inappropriate de-risking behaviour. Although there are quite a number of reference guides provided by the Financial Action Task Force to assist firms with the implementation of the risk-based approach. Those publications focus mainly on the risk assessment principles. This book is focused on both the principles and the practical aspect of its application.This book is a must read for every professional specializing in the field of Anti-Money Laundering Compliance. It is also a must read for every individual who intends to know more about the money laundering subject. |

| anti money laundering training: Asset Forfeiture Law in the United States - Second Edition Stefan D. Cassella, 2013-01-01 Asset Forfeiture Law in the United States - Second Edition serves as both a primer on forfeiture law for the newcomer to this area, as well as a handy resource for anyone needing a comprehensive discussion of any of the recurring and evolving forfeiture issues that arise daily in federal practice. The author is one of the federal government's leading experts on asset forfeiture law. As a federal prosecutor, he has been litigating asset forfeiture cases since the late 1980's, was a Deputy Chief of the Justice Department’s Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section for many years, and is now the Chief of the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Baltimore, MD. Asset Forfeiture Law in the United States - Second Edition is a completely revised and up-to-date treatise that addresses important changes and significant developments in civil and criminal forfeiture law. Every chapter has been rewritten as a result of the explosive growth in this area of law and practice. This comprehensive one-volume resource examines and explores the outpouring of new case law stemming from federal law enforcement agencies that include the FBI, DEA, IRS and Homeland Security. The Second Edition continues to lead the practitioner, prosecutor, judge and policy maker through the labyrinth of statues, rules and cases that govern this dynamic area of the law. Many countries in Europe, Asia and Africa, as well as Australia and the Americas, have enacted asset forfeiture statutes modeled on U.S. law, making the cases interpreting the statutes relevant beyond the borders of the United States. |
| anti money laundering training: Preventing Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing , 2009 Money laundering and terrorist financing are serious crimes that affect not only those persons directly involved, but the economy as a whole. According to international standards, every bank has the obligation to know its customers and to report suspicious transactions. Although these obligations sound straightforward, they have proved challenging to implement. What information precisely has to be gathered? How should it be recorded? If and when does one have to file a suspicious transaction report? It is here that a supervisor can play a crucial role in helping supervised institutions; first, in understanding the full extent of the obligations of Customer Due Diligence and Suspicious Transaction Reports (STR) and, second, in ensuring that those obligations are not just words on paper but are applied in practice. Effective supervision is key to the success of a country's AML/CFT system. In this regard, field work in both developed and developing countries has shown an overall low compliance in the area of supervision of banks and other financial institutions; supervisory compliance is indeed generally lower than the average level of compliance with all Financial Action Task Force recommendations. As a result, by providing examples of good practices, this book aims to help countries better conform to international standards. In this regard, this handbook is specifically designed for bank supervisors. |
| anti money laundering training: Deterring and Detecting Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Ehi Eric Esoimeme, 2018-02-27 The first edition to this book was titled A Comparative Study of the Money Laundering Laws/Regulations in Nigeria, the United States and the United Kingdom; this edition is titled Deterring and Detecting Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing: A Comparative Analysis of Anti-Money Laundering and Counterterrorism Financing Strategies. The title was changed to reflect the new approach/direction of the second edition and the fact that eight new topics were added to the already-existing chapters. They are Assessing Risks and Applying a Risk-Based Approach (chapter 2), Terrorist Financing Offence (chapter 5), Private Banking (chapter 7), Prepaid Cards (chapter 8), Modern Slavery (chapter 11), Fraud (chapter 13), Tax Evasion (chapter 14), and Confiscation and Provisional Measures (chapter 15). The second edition uses a mix of different methodologies as opposed to focusing on just one methodology. In addition to the comparative methodology, this edition adopts the case-study methodology. This methodology was not used in the First Edition. The case-study methodology ensures that readers: i. remain familiar with the concepts of money laundering and terrorist financing; ii. are aware of the threat money laundering and terrorist financing poses to you as a banker or practitioner; iii. maintain a proportionate and risk-level based approach to those threats; iv. adopt the anti-money laundering/counter-terrorist financing procedures appropriate to that level of risk; and v. review and maintain those procedures regularly. This book provides guidance on the following: - money laundering process, regulation of diamond dealers and other designated nonfinancial businesses and professions, as well as regulation of hawala and other alternative remittance systems, international bodies and national government agencies charged with fighting money laundering and terrorist financing (Chapter 1); - country-level and reporting entity-level risk assessments, and the measures to prevent the misuse of non-profit organisations and third-party payment processors (Chapter 2); - suspicious activity reports, currency transaction reports, further information orders, disclosure orders and information sharing within the financial sector (Chapter 3); - money laundering offence, penalties and lifetime management of ancillary orders (Chapter 4); - terrorist financing, jurisdiction, penalties and policies and procedures involved in the seizure/forfeiture of terrorist property (Chapter 5); - current measures to reduce the money laundering risks associated with politically exposed persons (Chapter 6); - innovative methods to reduce the money laundering risks associated with private banking accounts (Chapter 7); - strategic measures that meet the goal of financial inclusion (that is, preserving innovation and the many legitimate uses and societal benefits offered by prepaid cards) without compromising the measures that exist for combating money laundering, terrorist financing and other illicit transactions through the financial system (Chapter 8); - calculated processes to prevent the smuggling of the proceeds of crime overseas for the purpose of avoiding the reach of law enforcement agencies (Chapter 9); - complete understanding of the role and responsibilities of the compliance officer (Chapter 10); - timely procedures for combating predicate offences for money laundering-e.g. modern slavery (Chapter 11), the offence of bribery (Chapter 12), fraud (Chapter 13) and tax evasion (Chapter 14); - authorized measures for freezing or seizing property laundered or proceeds from instrumentalities used in, or intended for use in, money laundering or predicate offences (Chapter 15 and Chapter 16); - conscientious assistance that helps firms gain confidence that their customer due diligence obligations have been properly carried out (Chapter 17); - institutional record keeping maintenance (Chapter 18). |
| anti money laundering training: Anti-Money Laundering Susan Grossey, 2012-03-30 This book is aimed at non-executive directors of UK firms covered by the Money Laundering Regulations. These Regulations place requirements on such firms to put in place policies and procedures to prevent and forestall money laundering and terrorist financing - and hold the directors of those firms responsible for ensuring that this is done to the required standard. It is essential that every director - whether executive or non-executive - is aware of the heightened requirements of the UK's AML/CFT regime, and of his specific responsibilities under the four tenets of that regime: customer due diligence, record-keeping, internal reporting, and staff training. |

| anti money laundering training: Money Laundering and Illicit Financial Flows John a Cassara, 2020-05-15 Outside of crimes of passion, criminals, criminal organizations, kleptocrats, and some businesses and corporations are motivated by greed. In today's increasingly interconnected world, the criminal manifestations of unchecked avarice impact all of us - politically, socially, economically, and culturally. Transnational crime effects our individual and collective security. The magnitude of crime is measured in the multi-trillions of dollars annually. Laundering or hiding and disguising the proceeds of crime is essential for criminal organizations. Unfortunately, the last thirty years have demonstrated that our anti-money laundering (AML) countermeasures are not effective. Examining the metrics that matter, we are a decimal point away from total failure. The outlook going forward is not promising. Money Laundering and Illicit Financial Flows - Following the Money and Value Trails is the first book to take a hard look at our AML track record. Written primarily from a law enforcement perspective, the book examines old and new money laundering methodologies. It exposes threats, enablers, and facilitators. Making the case for an AML paradigm shift, the book offers alternative steps forward. Combining facts, straight-forward explanations, case studies, as well as the author's personal experiences, views and commentary, this book is valuable to the public and private sectors, policy makers, as well as students and concerned citizens. As a former Treasury Special Agent, John Cassara has investigated and studied money laundering for over 30 years. Equally at home in back streets or government bureaucracies, he has a unique perspective and offers an insider's knowledge. He delights in telling it as it is.
