With a zero tolerance level in Money Laundering and associated large regulatory penalties for non compliance, Banks and other Financial Institutes are spending immense time, effort and money to achieve compliance. Needless to say, it is still not enough. The Black Swan can enter into any Financial Institute’s Branch on any given day and sting the Bank by surprise.
The implementation of a formal and a structured AML Mitigation and oversight system and processes that effectively identify, assess, and manage such risk within acceptable levels is a challenge. Therefore, awareness about the menace of money laundering and thorough understanding of the antimony laundering process and its current trends at all levels of staff of a bank/FI are ever growing necessities.

Assessing AML Geographic Risk: a Methodology (November 2020)Alessa
WATCH WEBINAR: https://www.caseware.com/alessa/webinars/assessing-aml-geographic-risk-a-methodology/
Foreign transaction activity is an established risk factor for money laundering. But, what makes one country "riskier" than another from a money laundering or terrorist financing perspective? Financial institutions have no definitive source for country money laundering risk. In this presentation on customer risk scoring, Laurie Kelly, CAMS explores one objective methodology financial institutions may consider to assess individual countries' money laundering risk, which in turn may be used in transaction activity monitoring, customer risk scoring and the institution's high level money laundering risk assessment.

Taking a company-wide approach to money laundering
“The FCA has made it very clear that responsibility for the overall culture of firms sits at the top. We need leaders and senior managers within the industry to set the tone for how their staff behave.”
Tracey McDermott, Director of Enforcement and Financial Crime, FCA
The regulator has recently reiterated their intention to carry out further thematic and enforcement work in financial crime. However, many firms still have a fragmented approach to managing the risks of money laundering.
The responsibility for preventing financial crime is shared across the firm from the back office to the boardroom. Firms need to take a company-wide approach to tackling money laundering to ensure they are complying with regulation and managing risks effectively.
Bovill’s briefing looked at Anti-Money Laundering (AML), covering:
• Governance arrangements: as the foundation for effective communication and issue resolution
• Risk management: the difficulties of negotiating the right level of due diligence for higher risk customers and what tools can be used to help with this process
• Systems and controls: ensuring that these are fit for regulatory purpose and are appropriately maintained within your firm.

Fatca introduction and key requirements- bachir el nakib-[1]_arBachir El-Nakib, CAMS
In this paper, we will try to tackle what FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) is all about, and why it is of interest for us as foreign compliance professionals and institutions to learn about the potential implications and the burdens cost of non-compliance. This paper also highlights the necessity for domestic-local bankers, associations and regulators/central banks to find an exit scenario for the current complicated situation and to admit that complying with US Treasury requirements is not an easy task for foreign banks.
Financial Assets: Debit vs Equity Securities.pptxWrito-Finance
financial assets represent claim for future benefit or cash. Financial assets are formed by establishing contracts between participants. These financial assets are used for collection of huge amounts of money for business purposes.
Two major Types: Debt Securities and Equity Securities.
Debt Securities are Also known as fixed-income securities or instruments. The type of assets is formed by establishing contracts between investor and issuer of the asset.
• The first type of Debit securities is BONDS. Bonds are issued by corporations and government (both local and national government).
• The second important type of Debit security is NOTES. Apart from similarities associated with notes and bonds, notes have shorter term maturity.
• The 3rd important type of Debit security is TRESURY BILLS. These securities have short-term ranging from three months, six months, and one year. Issuer of such securities are governments.
• Above discussed debit securities are mostly issued by governments and corporations. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSITS CDs are issued by Banks and Financial Institutions. Risk factor associated with CDs gets reduced when issued by reputable institutions or Banks.
Following are the risk attached with debt securities: Credit risk, interest rate risk and currency risk
There are no fixed maturity dates in such securities, and asset’s value is determined by company’s performance. There are two major types of equity securities: common stock and preferred stock.
Common Stock: These are simple equity securities and bear no complexities which the preferred stock bears. Holders of such securities or instrument have the voting rights when it comes to select the company’s board of director or the business decisions to be made.
Preferred Stock: Preferred stocks are sometime referred to as hybrid securities, because it contains elements of both debit security and equity security. Preferred stock confers ownership rights to security holder that is why it is equity instrument
<a href="https://www.writofinance.com/equity-securities-features-types-risk/" >Equity securities </a> as a whole is used for capital funding for companies. Companies have multiple expenses to cover. Potential growth of company is required in competitive market. So, these securities are used for capital generation, and then uses it for company’s growth.
Concluding remarks
Both are employed in business. Businesses are often established through debit securities, then what is the need for equity securities. Companies have to cover multiple expenses and expansion of business. They can also use equity instruments for repayment of debits. So, there are multiple uses for securities. As an investor, you need tools for analysis. Investment decisions are made by carefully analyzing the market. For better analysis of the stock market, investors often employ financial analysis of companies.
what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
Currently pi network is not tradable on binance or any other exchange because we are still in the enclosed mainnet.
Right now the only way to sell pi coins is by trading with a verified merchant.
What is a pi merchant?
A pi merchant is someone verified by pi network team and allowed to barter pi coins for goods and services.
Since pi network is not doing any pre-sale The only way exchanges like binance/huobi or crypto whales can get pi is by buying from miners. And a merchant stands in between the exchanges and the miners.
I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi merchant. I and my friends has traded more than 6000pi coins successfully

how to sell pi coins at high rate quickly.DOT TECH
Where can I sell my pi coins at a high rate.
Pi is not launched yet on any exchange. But one can easily sell his or her pi coins to investors who want to hold pi till mainnet launch.
This means crypto whales want to hold pi. And you can get a good rate for selling pi to them. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor below.
A vendor is someone who buys from a miner and resell it to a holder or crypto whale.
Here is the telegram contact of my vendor:
@Pi_vendor_247
when will pi network coin be available on crypto exchange.DOT TECH
There is no set date for when Pi coins will enter the market.
However, the developers are working hard to get them released as soon as possible.
Once they are available, users will be able to exchange other cryptocurrencies for Pi coins on designated exchanges.
But for now the only way to sell your pi coins is through verified pi vendor.
Here is the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor
@Pi_vendor_247
how to sell pi coins in South Korea profitably.DOT TECH
Yes. You can sell your pi network coins in South Korea or any other country, by finding a verified pi merchant
What is a verified pi merchant?
Since pi network is not launched yet on any exchange, the only way you can sell pi coins is by selling to a verified pi merchant, and this is because pi network is not launched yet on any exchange and no pre-sale or ico offerings Is done on pi.
Since there is no pre-sale, the only way exchanges can get pi is by buying from miners. So a pi merchant facilitates these transactions by acting as a bridge for both transactions.
How can i find a pi vendor/merchant?
Well for those who haven't traded with a pi merchant or who don't already have one. I will leave the telegram id of my personal pi merchant who i trade pi with.

12. The Outline of the Risk-Based Methodology 02/14/12 @2011 - ICBC Doha Branch
13. Risk Categories 02/14/12 @2011 - ICBC Doha Branch Category of Risk Description Corporate / Commercial Risks arising out of entrepreneurial or commercial activities. Economic / Financial / Market Risks driven by economic activity either of a region, jurisdiction or given market. Legal / Regulatory Risks arising from legal or regulatory requirements or evolving international standards. Organisational / Management Human Risks presented due to limitations of human or financial resourcing. Political / Societal Risks arising from changing political or societal expectations. Environmental / Acts of God Risks that can materialise without the ability to influence them. Technical / Operational / Infrastructure Risks caused or exacerbated by resourcing or technical limitations.
14. Examples of Risk Identification 02/14/12 @2011 - ICBC Doha Branch Objective: To travel from Al Rayyan to Doha for a meeting by bus for a meeting at a certain time. Risk Description Evaluation - Good Description? Failure to get from Al Rayyan to Doha on time for the meeting NO, this is simply the converse of the objective Being late and missing the meeting NO, This is a statement of impact of the risk, not the risk itself. There is no food on the bus so I get hungry NO, this does not impact on achievement of the objective. Missing my lift to the bus stop causes me to miss the bus causing me to be late and miss the meeting YES, This is a risk that can be controlled by making sure I allow plenty of time to get to the bus-stop. Severe weather prevents the bus from running and me getting to the meeting YES, although this is a risk which I cannot control, but against which I can make a contingency plan.

Most crime is committed for money or some type of financial gain. Therefore, individuals committing crime need to engage in transactions with these funds to “disguise” the fact that the funds are derived from illegal activity. The funds must be laundered if they are to be secured and enjoyed. The underlying criminal (predicate) offense generates illegal proceeds. If there are any transactions with these proceeds, this constitutes “money Laundering” The Money Laundering Control Act first criminalized money laundering in the United States in 1986. The Three Stages of the Money Laundering Process: Placement - is the first stage , involves the physical introduction of bulk cash into the financial system. Typically accomplished through cash deposits and purchases of cash equivalent monetary instruments. At the placement stage, the funds are usually laundered relatively close to the under-lying activity, often, but not in every case, in the country where the funds originate. The major exception to this would be bulk currency smuggling which entails moving the physical cash proceeds to another country for placement. Layering - is phase 2. Layering involves separating the proceeds of criminal activity from their source through complex layers of transactions. The launderer seeks to separate the proceeds from the source through various complex layers of transactions. Typically involves more than one financial institution, and even better for obscuring the audit trail if more than one jurisdiction/country is involved. At this phase the launderer may choose an offshore financial center, a large regional business center, or a world banking center - any location that provides an adequate financial or business infrastructure. At this stage, the laundered funds may also only transit bank accounts at various locations where this can be done without leaving traces of their source or ultimate destination. I ntegration - the final stage, involved placing the laundered proceeds back into the economy in such a way that they re-enter the financial system as apparently legitimate funds. We will explore some products/services that are utilized at each stage of the process later in the presentation.

In the U.S. there are now nearly 200 predicate crimes that constitute money laundering. Some of the illicit activities which are identified as predicate crimes under the Money Laundering Control Act can occur outside the U.S. The underlying criminal (predicate) offense generates illegal proceeds. If there are transactions with these proceeds, this constitutes money laundering. Criminal organizations commingle proceeds from many crimes; and Criminals act as brokers for funds unrelated to their own criminal activities. These trends make it more difficult to differentiate between drug-related money laundering and other forms of illegal money movements. Drug-related money laundering often supplies the “working capital” for other types of illicit activities, including a source of financing to terrorist groups (e.g., heroin trade in Afghanistan). Patriot Act Section 315 added foreign official corruption and certain foreign smuggling and export control violations to the U.S. list of predicate crimes. Tax offenses do not generally constitute a predicate offense for money laundering in most countries, with Mexico, however, a notable exception. Many people often confuse money laundering with fraud so you may want to highlight the differences. Fraud is carrying out a scheme to obtain money or any form of property by means of false pretenses. When a financial institution experiences a fraud it will incur a loss or disappearance of assets. When a financial institution is used to launder money it will not experience a loss unless funds are seized or frozen by the government. Money Laundering usually results in large quantities of illicit proceeds that need to be distanced from thsir source as quickly as possible in an undetected manner.
Illegal erworbene Mittel werden als 1. Schritt, dem Placement, auf einem Bankkonto angelegt. Als 2. Schritt, dem sog. Layering, wird die Herkunft der Mittel kaschiert. Dies geschieht durch verschiedene Methoden wie Überweisung der Mittel auf ein offshore Konto, durch Darlehen, durch falsche Rechnungen etc. 3. Und letzter Schritt, Wiedereinführung in regulären Wirtschaftskreislauf

When CDD required—basic requirement A licensed party must conduct customer due diligence measures for a customer when— it establishes a business relationship with the customer; or it conducts a one-off transaction for the customer with a value (or, for transactions that are or appear (whether at the time or later) to be linked, with a total value) of at least the threshold amount; or it suspects the customer of money laundering or terrorist financing; or it has doubts about the veracity or adequacy of documents, data or information previously obtained in relation to the customer for the purposes of identification or verification. Note CDD must also be conducted under r 3.3.8 (Powers of attorney) and 3.3.10 (Wire transfers). In this rule: threshold amount means 55,000 Riyals (or its equivalent in any other currency at the relevant time). This rule is subject to the following provisions: rule 3.4.9 (Introducers) rule 3.4.10 (Group introductions) rule 3.4.11 (Intermediaries) rule 4.3.4 (When CDD may not be required—acquired businesses) rule 5.2.2 (2) (Licensed party must ensure no tipping off occurs).
Conduct detailed analysis of each category to better assess risk Purpose of the account Actual or anticipated activity in the account Nature of the customer’s business Customer’s location Products and services used by the customer
Identify specific risks categories Products and services Customers and entities geographic locations Product and Services Certain products and services offered by financial institutions may pose a higher risk of money laundering or terrorist financing Electronic funds payment services Electronic banking Private banking Trust and asset management services Foreign correspondent accounts (PTA’s and US dollar drafts) Loans secured by cash collateral and marketable securities Nondeposit account services (investment products and insurance)
How do we come up with the risk rankings to start with?
CLAMP model (Closed Loop Anti Money Laundering Program) A comprehensive and risk-based approach to AML compliance yields important benefits: Cost effective compliance with AML laws and regulations Reduced risk or reputational damage from regulatory action Increased protection of corporate assets and shareholder value
First line of defence owns day-to-day controls and procedures that manage risks Second line of defence interprets compliance risk and tailors procedures and control measures, to the risks facing the firm. Compliance monitors risk by testing controls. Secures corrective action for risks identified Third line of defence provides independent assurance to senior management that the model works Takeaway point: compliance is not an Island or a task done by just the Compliance Dept. – everyone has a role to play.
