Profitable crime left unchecked leads to more crime and encourages more criminal participants. International crime control efforts have therefore focused on trying to take the profit out of crime. In turn, criminals have developed measures to complicate and disguise the sources and uses of their funds - more commonly known as money laundering.
As professionals knowledgeable in financial systems, accountants are called upon knowingly to laundering the proceeds of crime. Governments around the globe have enlisted accountants to help in the fight against money laundering by assessing their risks, implementing countermeasures, and furnishing intelligence. Our presentation will survey the threats, the countermeasures, and the practical measures accountants and accounting firms take as deputies in the fight against financial crime.
Course Objectives:
- Recognize the ways accountants are exploited for money laundering facilitation domestically and internationally
- Identify the ways the international community calls on accountants to contribute to the fight against money laundering
- Identify the actionable steps accountants and accounting firms take to prevent, detect, and deter money laundering
