This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Title III, of the USA PATRIOT Act, Pub. L. 107-56, 115 Stat. 272 (2001), the "International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001," contains three subtitles that deal with: International Counter Money Laundering and Related Measures; Bank Secrecy Act Amendments and Related Improvements; and, Currency Crimes and Protection. It contains a list of 10 findings and 13 purposes, relating the scope of international money laundering to the financing of global terrorism and focusing on problems in the international banking system that have facilitated money laundering. Among the purposes of the legislation are: increasing the strength of U.S. measures to prevent, detect, and prosecute international money laundering and the financing of terrorism, to provide a national mandate for subjecting to special scrutiny foreign jurisdictions, financial institutions operating outside the United States, and classes of international transactions or types of accounts that pose particular opportunities for criminal abuse, and to ensure that all appropriate elements of the financial services industry are subject to appropriate requirements to report potential money laundering transactions to proper authorities. The legislation contains over forty separate sections, each of which is summarized in this report. Some of them are technical in the sense that they address criminal and civil judicial or administrative proceedings; others enhance criminal penalties for various types of financial crimes. Among the provisions that have garnered the most attention are those that affect financial institutions such as the grant of authority to the Secretary of the Treasury to impose special measures, including requiring the closure of certain accounts with foreign banks. To impose these special measures, the Secretary must find that a jurisdiction, class of transactions, or institution is of "primary money laundering concern." In addition, there are provisions that specifically address and specify increased due diligence for correspondent accounts, payable-through accounts, and private banking accounts for non-U.S. persons as well as accounts with off-shore or foreign shell banks. There are requirements and standards for increased cooperation by financial institutions in responding to government requests for information and new requirements for regulations mandating standards for identifying persons opening accounts. The legislation also requires financial institutions to institute anti-money laundering programs, and the Secretary of the Treasury, within 3 months, to issue regulations setting minimum requirements. Some of the provisions of the legislation went into effect with the President's signature. Some need no implementing regulations. Much of the legislation, however, requires implementing regulations. The full impact, therefore, will emerge over the course of time. By including many requirements for studies and reports, Congress has indicated that it is prepared to conduct fine tuning should the need arise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade and beyond, the need for a modern anti-money-laundering strategy has become widely accepted internationally. Depriving criminal elements of the proceeds of their crimes has increasingly been seen as an important tool to combat drug trafficking and, more recently, as a critical element in fighting organized crime, corruption, and the financing of terrorism, and maintaining the integrity of financial markets. The first few financial intelligence units (FIUs) were established in the early 1990s in response to the need for countries to have a central agency to receive, analyze, and disseminate financial information to combat money laundering. Over the ensuing period, the number of FIUs has continued to increase, reaching 84 in 2003. This handbook responds to the need for information on FIUs. It provides references to the appropriate Financial ActionTask Force (FATF) standards wherever appropriate.

Download or read book Anti money Laundering and Counter terrorism Financing Across the Globe written by Julie Walters and published by . This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most developed countries across the globe have enacted to prescribe acts of money laundering and financing of terrorism, and to enable the proceeeds of crime to be recovered from offenders. Despite the normative approach taken in the FATF-GAFI recommendations, the specific legislative and procedural responses taken by individual countries have differed in many respects. Law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies need to understand the differences that exist in criminal law relating to money laundering between different countries when investigating and prosecuting illegal conduct, as conduct of this nature often entails cross-border activity requiring mutual assistance between agencies and extradition of suspects across jurisdictional borders. The countries included were the European Union (the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Belguim), Asia (the Republic of China (Taiwan), Hong Kong and Singapore), the United States and Australia.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee On Investigations (PSI) issued a report in *U.S. Vulnerabilities to Money Laundering, Drugs, and Terrorist Financing*, using the global banking and financial firm, HSBC Group, as a case study. HSBC lapsed in the management of anti-money laundering and compliance issues in an effort to cut costs as the firm grew. As a result, the report suggests the sharing of information among globally systemically important financial institutions to maintain an awareness of risk alerts. The PSI suggests standards that HSBC and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, HSBC's regulator, should uphold. The U.S. SENATE PERMANENT SUBCOMMITTEE ON INVESTIGATIONS (PSI) is a bi-partisan committee of senators that deals with Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and is currently headed by Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) and Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK). Formerly known as the Committee on Government Operations, PSI is the oldest subcommittee of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
