Money from criminal activity harms countries, economies, and people
The Challenge
Anti-money laundering and sanctions screening regulations seem like activities that only banks and other financial institutions (FIs) must undertake. However, governments, small and large enterprises, and non-profit organizations must also screen against numerous watchlists to ensure they’re not engaging with sanctioned parties.
Financial institutions are subject to increased scrutiny when it comes to due diligence. Not only are they required to perform watchlist screening, they may also be required to undertake other appropriate risk-based screening procedures, such as adverse media screening.
Organizations that fail to perform sufficient due diligence are subject to fines and could see a significant loss of reputation and shareholder value.
