Course Description

Did you ever wonder how drug dealers can purchase sports cars? Or how illegally embezzled money can end up financing Hollywood movies? Money laundering is seen as critical to the effective operation of transnational and organized crime. By its very nature, money laundering is an illegal activity carried out by criminals which occur outside of the normal range of economic and financial statistics. Along with some other aspects of underground economic activity, rough estimates have been put forward to give some sense of the scale of the problem.

More importantly, what do our politicians and lawmakers do to prevent money laundering? And how can organizations prevent being systematically misused for money laundering? What can organizations do to do to build an effective AML compliance program? How can they make sure that they comply with regulatory and legal requirements?

A great deal can be done to fight money laundering, and, indeed, many governments have already established comprehensive anti-money laundering regimes. These regimes aim to prevent money laundering – both within the government and the private business sector.
