Is your business fully aware of its vulnerability to money laundering and terrorism financing risks?
As you know, money laundering and terrorism financing laws are risk-based. This means that regulated businesses like yours must conduct business-wide ML/TF risk assessments. The aim is to identify and assess the risks where businesses might be exploited by organised criminal networks, laundering the proceeds of their crimes.
If your business is used to launder criminal funds, your business could face significant penalties. Financial crime regulators like have been granted extensive powers to enforce non-compliance with AML/CTF laws.
At the heart of any effective AML/CTF Program comes a clear understanding of how your business could be exploited by organised criminal networks. This understanding hinges on various factors, including the products and services offered, the channels these are distributed through, the types of customers your business deals with and the exposure to certain countries.
Does your business understand its risk exposure to money laundering and terrorism financing?
Many small and medium-sized businesses have the same compliance obligations as larger ones but often lack the resources and in-house expertise to develop ML/TF risk assessments or design, implement and maintain effective AML/CTF Programs.
