Anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) legislation can apply to those both inside and outside the financial sector. It is a key area of focus for regulators and law enforcement around the world with possible consequences including criminal prosecution of organisations or individuals, and business threatening regulatory enforcement action.
Different countries have different AML/CTF requirements – both reporting and compliance requirements may vary widely between jurisdictions. Our world-class corporate crime team spans over 25 offices across Asia, Australia, Africa, Europe, the Middle East and the US and is ideally placing us to help you with national and international AML/CTF issues; we are currently doing so for a wide range of cross-sector clients.
Our AML/CTF practice is supported by expertise in the related areas of anti-corruption and economic sanctions compliance, and from our integration with our market leading financial services regulatory practice.
