What is Money Laundering?
According to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), money laundering is the processing of criminal proceeds to disguise their illegal origin. In other words, it is a technique used by criminals to “clean” the illegally obtained money and conceal the source of funds through financial transactions, and finally release laundered money into the legal financial system.
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) estimates that the annual amount of money laundered is ranged between US$800 billion and US$2 trillion, 2 – 5% of global GDP per year.
How do professional firms prevent money laundering activities?
