Anti-Money Laundering (AML) (2024)

The growth in international crime and terrorism has seen greater efforts by criminals to unearth new ways of integrating their illicit funds into financial markets. Identifying and bringing to justice those who help launder illicit funds is a priority for both governments and financial markets regulators. You have an important part to play in this work - ignorance is no longer a valid form of defense. The penalties for noncompliance are severe and can include a fine and/or a custodial sentence, so understanding your obligations in relation to anti-money laundering (AML) and counter terrorist financing (CTF) is vital.
