Money Laundering and Its Fall-out - REGULATION OF MONEY LAUNDERING: INDIA - ...Resurgent India
With growing financial strength, India is becoming more vulnerable to money laundering activities, despite its strict foreign exchange laws, which make it difficult for criminals to launder money.
With today’s modern advancements in global banking and financial services technologies and interconnectivity, implementing effective, robust, and proportional Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter the Financing of Terrorism
(CFT) compliance frameworks has grown ever more challenging. Not only must firms be able to implement risk-based assessments that are proportional to the size and nature of a firm’s activities, they must also ensure that these systems
can seamlessly integrate third party systems in order to provide effective monitoring of AML and CFT risks.
This training course has been specifically designed to provide a firm’s compliance and front office employees with highly comprehensive training on AML global trends and challenges, as well as a thorough review of money laundering methods
and ways of concealing beneficial ownership. By attending the training course individuals will be thoroughly trained on global money laundering techniques and will be equipped to be able to
more effectively carry out internal client AML and CFT checks and risk assessments. The training course provides practical and interactive training combined with contextual case studies
to exemplify global AML and CFT practices.
This presented is aimed at AML/CTF practitioners who would need quick reminders of the basics of AML. Tools are not very useful if the underlying basics are unknown.

Definitions, Obligation for Banks, Financial Institutions, Intermediaries, Attachment, Adjudication and confiscation of property, Appellate Tribunal, Special Court, Penalty and fine.
Money laundering is the process of concealing the origin of money obtained from illegitimate sources by passing it through complex sequence of financial transactions and making it appear to be originated from legal activity.
Illegal arm sales, terrorism funding, smuggling, drug trafficking, insider trading, fraud schemes, bribery etc. are some examples of illegal activities prohibited by law.
In simpler terms, money laundering means cleaning of dirty money.
Process of Money Laundering
Placement – Placing illegal cash proceeds with banks and other financial institutions onshore and offshore in smaller denominations.
Layering – Creating complex layers of financial transactions to make it difficult to trace the origin of money. The transactions might be channelled through purchase & sales of financial securities.
Integration – Integrating the money into legal system by investing into business, real estates and luxury assets.
Methods of Money Laundering
Structuring / Smurfing – It is a method of placement where the illegal money collected is broken into smaller deposits to place at different banks. This is done to avoid any suspicion of origin of money.
Shell Companies – This involves creation of fake companies that are registered and exist in papers but hold neither physical location nor operational activities are done.
Bulk Cash Smuggling – This involves smuggling cash to foreign countries to deposit illegal money in offshore bank which hold greater secrecy; generally countries considered as tax haven.
Round Tripping – Shipping back the money deposited in offshore financial institutions as foreign direct investment.
Act -
Financial Action Task Force – Formed in 1989 by G7 countries to develop and ensure an international response to combat money laundering. The objectives of the FATF were to set standards and promote effective implementation of legal, regulatory and operational measures for combating money laundering, terrorist financing and other related threats to the integrity of the international financial system.
PMLA (Prevention of Money Laundering Act) 2002 – The act passed to stop money laundering and punish those involved directly or indirectly in illegal activity. As per this act whoever commits money laundering shall be punishable with imprisonment of about 3 to 10 years and shall also be liable to pay fine.

1. AML/CFT Compliance Services in UAE
Governments across the globe have been taking measures to increase the
scrutiny of AML/CFT processes and controls, to fight Financial crimes.
Individuals and firms are required to comply with minimum standards; failure
to keep up with the changing requirements can lead to penalties and legal
consequences.
In December 2020, the UAE Cabinet adopted the formation of the Executive
Office of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of
Terrorism with an aim to follow the international requirements in this sector.
HLB HAMT works as a consultant to conduct independent assessments of
Anti-money Laundering, Combating the Financing of Terrorism & Sanctions
Compliance Frameworks across multiple sectors. Our team of experts can
help you in developing, implementing, and enhancing your compliance
regime for not only for Exchange Houses, Banking, and Insurance sectors but
also for other Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions.
Services:
Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Advisory
With the continuous changes in the regulatory framework and more
stringent AML Rules and regulations, it is becoming difficult for Financial
institutions and DNFPBs to implement new regulations and design a
complete compliance framework.
2. Frequently Asked Question – AML/ CFT Compliance Services

offences, combating terrorist financing and financing illegal

3. What are the Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Countering
Financing of Terrorism (CFT) compliances required in the
UAE?The AML law mandates the formation of an independent
Financial Intelligence Unit (the UAE FIU) within the Central Bank
(CBUAE). The purpose of the unit is to obtain Suspicious
Transaction Reports (STRs) and related details from all Financial
Institutions (FIs) and Designated Non-Financial Businesses and
Professions (DNFBPs).
The AML-CFT Law states that FIs should “identify crime risks
within (their) scope of work” and they also have the responsibility
to update their risk assessments with regards to the different risk
factors. While recognizing, assessing, and understanding the risks
of the FIs, their business nature and size must be considered.
In the case of high-risk identification, enhanced due diligence will
have to be conducted and cases wherein low-risk identification is
identified, simplified due diligence will do.

regulations?The below-given sectors/ individuals need to comply

■ To ensure that the required management and information

6. How does an organization ensure that it is compliant with the
UAE’s AML and CFT regulatory requirements?Financial
Institutions are required to “maintain a risk identification and
assessment analysis with its supporting data.” They can make use
of diverse models or methodologies to analyze risk, based on the
nature and size of their businesses.
The best option would be to contact a consultancy to ensure you
are compliant with the AML/ CFT regulations. HLB HAMT works as
a consultant to conduct independent assessments of Anti-money
Laundering, Combating the Financing of Terrorism & Sanctions
Compliance Frameworks across multiple sectors.
