Financial crime is not limited to Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorism, but includes a wider array of other criminal activity, such as bribery and corruption, fraud, sanctions breaches and tax evasion, amongst others. Furthermore, ongoing technological developments, whilst beneficial for several reasons, have transformed the context within which such risks are managed.
The rapidly increasing focus on compliance and the associated costs, including the penalties for failure, means that the prevention and detection of financial crime in a cost-effective manner is one of the most critical challenges faced by regulated business today.
