The Impact of Money Laundering on Customer Due Diligence

Pages: 36 Published: December 19, 2016 Report Code: WI0026FR

The Panama Papers scandal of 2016 led to the leaked individuals’ names and associations being scrutinized by governments in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Australia, among others, which is unsurprising given that the financial services industry is in the process of preparing for new, stricter regulation.

The Common Reporting Standards regulation, the Fourth Money Laundering Directive, the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and Financial Action Task Force recommendations on money laundering that have been proposed and enacted in Europe and the US are intended to strengthen the AML regulatory environment and increase pressure on institutions to comply.

Financial institutions need to do more to be compliant with CDD and KYC processes and, in particular, the need to check the internal security of client data. The is also applies to the provision of retail and not-for-profit services, and the need to minimise a business’s exposure to risk as a result of failure to comply with AML regulations.
