"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

KYC Regulations - Mel Georgie Racela
1. CURRENT TRENDS ON KYC
REGULATIONS
ATTY. MEL GEORGIE B. RACELA, CPA, LlB, LlM
Deputy Director and Head
Anti-Money Laundering Specialist Group (AMLSG)
Supervision and Examination Sector
2. I. Introduction to Risk Based approach
II. Risk Based and Tiered Customer Identification
System
III. International Wire Transfers
IV. Techniques to ensuring KYC is properly
performed
V. Enforcement Actions
4. 1. Placement – Objective is to transform banknotes
into non-cash assets. Places physical cash with
Banks and other financial institutions or makes cash
purchases.
• smurfing or structuring
• converted into financial instruments
• commingled with legitimate funds
• purchase of insurance contract, real estates,
precious stones, jewelries
5. 2. Layering – Objective is to disguise the origin of
criminal funds. To do this, the launderer creates
complex layers of financial transactions.
• Electronic transfer of funds
• disguise the transfer as a payment for goods or
services
• transfer the funds to shell corporation
6. 3. Integration – Objective is to integrate illicit funds
with legitimate business. The money is once again
made available to the criminal with the occupational
and geographic origin obscured or concealed. The
laundered funds are now integrated back into the
legitimate economy through the purchase of
properties, businesses and other investments.
• Purchase shares of stocks in the stock exchange
• Purchase of house and lot
• Engage in legitimate businesses
7. Laundered money is most vulnerable to detection when:
cash initially enters the financial system
funds are transferred within and out of the financial
system
cash flows abroad
8. A risk-based approach avoids 'one-size fits all'
policies and procedures. Banks should tailor their
efforts according to the level of the money laundering
risk posed by their customers, products and services.
This involves putting anti-money laundering policies
and procedures in place that cover risk identification,
assessment, mitigation and monitoring.
9. The extent of AML/CTF measures and due diligence
depends greatly on perceived risk. There are a number
of areas where banks tend to be more vulnerable.
1. Vulnerable Services (i.e. international wire transfers,
private banking operators, electronic banking);
2. High Risk Customers (i.e. money changers/
remitters, luxury item retailers, non-governmental
organizations); and
3. High Risk Geographic Areas (i.e. NCCT list)
10. Objective: To establish the true and full identity of
customers by undertaking the following
requirements:
1. Identification Document

your institution- the one with the potential to cause
harm- and placing measures that will enable it to
monitor, control and minimize these risks.
