Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the interpretation of the risk-based approach (RBA) and its application across the banking industry. It explores the ways conflicting risk interpretation and deconstruction of money laundering risk have unintended consequences across the banking industry. Furthermore, it offers a theoretical framework that can be adopted and implemented by risk practitioners to address money laundering (ML) risks. The interpretation and application of the RBA influences the way money laundering risk is perceived, presented, and managed, often resulting in misalignment among stakeholders. Moreover, AML practitioners interpret money laundering (ML) risk as an entity that can be contained, largely in ignorance of the fact that ML risk is self-referential. The book therefore addresses complex inter-system feedback phenomena that lead to de-risking and re-risking, and offers a new ML risk communication framework on this basis. It will be of value to researchers and also to stakeholders within financial institutions, financial intelligence units and regulators in the fight against money laundering.

Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . . . a stimulating look at the hard work done in many specialisms that collectively seek to combat money laundering. Sally Ramage, The Criminal Lawyer While there is much noise about the control of money laundering, there are few whose work is able to rise above the din and in clear notes contribute in a constructive manner to the debate. This work is not only an intelligent discussion of many of the substantive issues relating to the control of money laundering, but a great deal more. Drawing on systems theory and seeing the control of money laundering particularly from the standpoint of technology as complex and integral to the proper and effective operation of financial institutions, the author addresses in a novel and practical way the design and management of risk based compliance. The theory is tested, not only in terms of viable technology, but also in an actual case study involving real issues in a bank. Consequently, those concerned with the formulation of policy, the design of controls and procedures and the implementation of such will find the contribution that this book makes of great significance. Barry Rider, Bryan Cave LLP, UK This book avoids the usual trap of interminably listing AML war stories. Instead Dr. Demetis presents a solid theoretical foundation for AML research and practice. He gives a damning critique of the way so-called technological solutions are used uncritically by some AML professionals, and analyses the risk-based approach, describing its problems and ways of avoiding them. He presents a fascinating in-depth case study of a financial institution, and a short case of a bank using technology to improve its True Positive Rate substantially to 17 per cent. Ian Angell, London School of Economics, UK Dr Demetis makes a great contribution to our understanding of anti-money laundering at both a systems and practical level. [He] writes as someone who not only thinks deeply about these issues but, as the in-depth case examples show, has tried to see how far technology can address some audacious goals. Readers will learn that while risk-based approaches to anti-money laundering have been an interesting regulatory development, practical implementation, despite the hype of technology vendors, is still at a primordial state . Michael Mainelli, Gresham College and Z/YEN Group, UK This insightful book examines the influence of information systems on anti-money laundering (AML). It builds on systems theory in order to develop a coherent theoretical framework that can be used for AML research. By using a case study of a major financial institution in the EU-area, a number of technological influences on AML are deconstructed and are used to examine the role that technology plays within AML. The book provides a systems theoretical description of the effects of technology on AML and offers considerations on the risk-based approach the most important contemporary evolution within regulatory initiatives on AML and terrorism financing. Technology and Anti-Money Laundering will appeal to researchers of financial crime and AML as well as those interested in information systems and systems theory. A number of considerations for practitioners are also discussed, including the risk-based approach and the integration of AML-technology in financial institutions, as well as an important data-mining application. Money Laundering Reporting Officers (MLROs) in financial institutions and central bankers will also find much of interest in this book.

Book excerpt: Money laundering and terrorist financing undermine the integrity and stability of financial systems and can have a significantly adverse impact on a jurisdiction's economy. Challenges to effective supervision and prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism were exacerbated in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, with financial institutions' need for funds at times undermining vigilance as to the provenance of those funds. As such, supervisors often, and prudently, focused on coping with the crisis. Since 2009, when the first edition of this handbook was published, challenges to the integrity and stability of financial systems have continued to evolve. Money-laundering and terrorist-financing risks continue to threaten the reputations of financial institutions and entire financial sectors, exposing institutions to the possibility of severe enforcement action by public authorities or the loss of correspondent relationship facilities by their private sector counterparts. This second edition reflects the evolving challenges to the integrity and stability of financial systems, recent trends in enforcement actions by country authorities, and changes to international standards, notably an emphasis on a risk-based approach. This practical handbook supports the implementation of international standards established by the Financial Action Task Force and other bodies, * Providing examples of money-laundering and terrorist-financing supervisory frameworks in a range of countries; * Describing best practices for the supervision and enforcement of money-laundering and terrorist-financing laws and regulations; * Offering practical advice on how a particular jurisdiction might incorporate enforcement of the laws and regulations on money laundering and terrorist financing into its supervisory framework. Designed specifically for bank supervisors, this guide will also be of interest to readers working in the areas of finance, corruption prevention, law, accounting, and corporate governance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The digitized economy makes many money launderers able to execute their criminal schemes successfully. In many cases, the current AML regulations are no longer effective or adequate to prevent or stop most money launderers. Hence the need to deconstruct and reconstruct the current AML regulations. A key element of the reconstructed AML regulations has to be promoting the active involvement of financial institutions as partners. AML compliance should go beyond meeting the minimum requirements to escape being penalized for non-compliance, but more sustainably nurturing a system that makes the concerned organizations see themselves as partners of the state, and the international agencies fighting financial crimes.

Book excerpt: Money laundering is one of the main 'engines of crime' sustaining global criminal enterprises and is worth billions of dollars. The increasingly global and virtual nature of financial services and the emergence of technology-enabled products, such as crypto currencies and anonymization tools, have made the task of combating it more difficult.To complicate things, controlling much of this mega-illicit activity are global money laundering syndicates, who offer their services to criminal networks, and are highly adept at exploiting gaps in the financial systems. Another complication to the compliance function is the complex legal requirements set by each country to limit the international flows of illicit funds. These are the challenging conditions within which anti-money laundering (AML) and Counter Terrorism Financing (CTF) measures currently operate.Money laundering takes place in all forms and shapes. There are no social, economic, geographic, or professional boundaries immune from abuse which can facilitate money laundering. Artwork, antiquities, antiques, precious stones, and exotic cars are among a few of the items frequently used. This book will explore elements of money laundering that touch all these areas.To understand money laundering, one must understand the history of money laundering and the evolution of the inclusion of priceless items as a means of laundering illegitimate and elicit funds. This guide is an essential tool to learn, understand, expand, and maintain a proper understanding of money laundering flows and how to prepare the financial industry for evolving risks.I grew up in Miami in the 80's and early 90's, a time when money laundering and drug trafficking through the city reached its peak. In fact, my banking career started at the height of the Cocaine Cowboy era in the mid-80's. At this time financial regulations were still in their infancy and technology to manage the detection and monitoring of white-collar financial crimes by financial institutions did not yet exist. I started off as a part time teller at a large Miami Beach bank while still in high school. This experience provided me with my first exposure to how billions of dollars in cash was making its way into banks across the city. I often refer to Miami as ground zero for money laundering, as well as for my education on the subject. I grew professionally inside Miami banks by securing positions in audit departments where I developed firsthand knowledge of the various facets of banking. In the early 90s I continued to grow professionally, shifting my focus towards the growing realm of financial technology. At the time, cutting edge technology consisted of personal computers which were still in their early stages of development, and there was a sharp learning curve for myself and my colleagues trying to understand how to use shared desktop terminals and PC's for the first time. My experience with technology within the financial sphere expanded in the late 90's and 2000's when I grew to develop a greater understanding of the role of software and how certain programs could be used in combination with advancing technology - that is, newer, faster desktop computers and laptops - to facilitate the implementation of infrastructure within institutions that could be used to both enhance operational efficiency, as well as create processes that could be utilized to ensure that institutions could comply with new and evolving regulatory requirements. The bulk of these regulations would come to be encompassed within the USA PATRIOT Act.
