18-Apr-2022
NEW YORK - Together with ICAEW, the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) released a new installment in its Anti-Money Laundering: The Basics educational series: Installment Eight: Crime Trends.
The publication is part of a series helping accountants enhance their understanding of how money laundering works, the risks they face, and what they can do to mitigate these risks and make a positive contribution to the public interest.
Installment 8 looks at recent crime trends like human trafficking and terrorist financing and the role money laundering plays.
Anti-Money Laundering: The Basics is user-friendly, easily accessible, and will be a resource for Small and Medium Practices (SMPs) and accountants less familiar with AML, while also providing guidance for those looking for a quick refresher or reference.
Anti-Money Laundering: The Basics is featured on both the IFAC (landing page) and ICAEW websites and is available for free download. To be globally relevant, the series uses the risk-based approach of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) – the global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog -- as a starting point.
