The pandemic, far from deterring the criminals & launderers has led to new predicate crimes and new avenues to wash their ill gotten gains. In addition, we have seen some older laundering techniques come back into vogue. This module examines:
The impact of the pandemic on:
- the criminals trying to launder money
- those trying to prevent laundering and the regulatory response
The technological advances
- how they are changing the way AML is being practiced within businesses and the future for financial crime compliance generally.
