IFAC and ICAEW Release Fifth Installment of Six-Part Anti-Money Laundering Educational Series
05-Apr-2021
Segment Examines the Implications of Money Laundering on Tax Advice
LONDON - Together with ICAEW, The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) released the fifth installment in its Anti-Money Laundering: The Basics educational series: Installment 5: Tax Advice.
The publication is part of a 6-month short 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 five examines tax advice and the multiple ways in which tax services may be vulnerable to money laundering.
The installment series, with its focus on accessibility and ease of use, 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 available for download for free. 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.
