This book was released on 2012 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the past decade, the concern of terrorism has been brought to the forefront of governments across the globe. In order to achieve the planned objectives, regardless of whether the threat is a sole, domestic "lone wolf" or a sophisticated, transnational organization such as al Qaeda, the individual or group will require funding and/or financial assistance. According to the 9/11 Commission, al Qaeda issued hundreds of thousands of dollars for the hijackers, prior to the attacks of 2001, for travel between the Middle East, Europe, and the targeted United States. The entire operation totaled approximately $400,000 to $500,000, with a majority funneling throughout US bank accounts by the hijackers (9/11 Commission, 2004). September 11th 2001 undoubtedly has changed the United States, including the financial and governmental sectors. The purpose of this study was to analyze the funding strategies of Islamic terrorist organizations and the impact on the United States government and financial sectors. Multiple financing strategies have been reviewed throughout this study, followed by analysis of the strategies and countermeasures taken by the United States government and financial industry. Recommendations have also been made to potentially assist or improve the current countermeasures in place.

The United States has implemented a system that is broadly in line with the international AML/CFT standard.

Download or read book Finance and Security written by Martin S. Navias and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global financial sector is increasingly vulnerable to penetration by criminal money-launderers, financiers of terrorism, and proliferators of weapons of mass destruction. At the same time, it offers instruments that can be usefully employed to pursue foreign and security policy objectives. It is thus hardly surprising that finance has emerged as an arena of intense competition, if not conflict, between those seeking to exploit or attack this vital element of state power and those tasked with defending its integrity or harnessing it for legal purposes. Navias assesses the key threats to financial systems and shows how the public and private sectors are co-operating to contain them. He analyses the main characteristics of criminal money-laundering and terrorist financing, and reviews major multilateral and national regimes locked in the perpetual battle to shore up the financial sector against these constantly evolving security challenges. He also considers the uses of finance in support of key sanctions, counter-proliferation, and arms embargo policies. Uniquely, Finance and Security views these financial threats and weapons through a security and war studies prism. It will be equally invaluable to scholars of security and international relations and to professionals working in the legal, banking and compliance professions.

Book excerpt: Since 9/11, the U.S. has established tools to address the threat to the U.S. financial system of money laundering and terrorist financing. One tool is Sect. 311 of the USA PATRIOT Act, which authorizes the Treasury Dept. to prohibit U.S. financial institutions from maintaining certain accounts for foreign banks if they involve foreign jurisdictions or institutions found to be of primary money laundering concern. To make this finding, Treasury examines several factors and issues a proposed rule announcing its intent to apply Sect. 311 restrictions. This report examines: (1) the process used to implement Sect. 311 restrictions; (2) the process Treasury follows to finalize or withdraw a proposed rule; and (3) how Treasury assesses the impact of Sect. 311.

Book excerpt: This Technical Note discusses the findings and recommendations made in the Financial Sector Assessment Program for the United States in the areas of anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT). The United States’ AML/CFT legal and institutional framework has yet to address deficiencies identified in the most recent Financial Action Task Force mutual evaluation report regarding ownership information for U.S. corporations and trusts. In particular more rapid progress is needed to enhance transparency of legal persons to bolster financial system integrity. Trusts have a different legal and institutional framework, and draft regulations have been produced to strengthen financial institutions’ obligations. These measures are however progressing slowly.
