Anti-Money Laundering Programs

Is your corporation at risk?

Money launderers are seeking new and innovative ways to move and spend their dirty money, so every organization is at risk…even yours.

In the past, money-laundering pros typically sought out:

Cash-based businesses
Sellers of big ticket and luxury items like cars, boats, airplanes or real estate
Banks
Brokerage firms
Insurance companies
Gambling establishments
Check cashing and wiring operations
Foreign currency exchanges
Art dealers
Precious metals and coin dealers

While these business are still most at risk for money laundering schemes, today’s criminals are using the computer to move funds, and to buy goods, from just about anyone willing to sell.

What are the risks?

Not only will a money-laundering scheme expose your firm to liability and ruin your hard earned reputation, it opens you to personal liability as well. The courts call it “willful blindness,” which says that you can be prosecuted even if you didn’t know that payments your company received came from illegal activities.
