Controls of Anti-Money Laundering

       1. Know Your Customers

The ‘Know Your Customers’ policies have been launched to prevent money laundering. These policies are engaged in tracking the clients’ activities besides monitoring various transactions. The suspicious activities need to be reported, and the proper record must be maintained at all times in all such cases.  

In this context, our subject experts help organisations in review KYC policies & procedures, do deep diving, and find out the critical information necessary for implementing KYC policies and processes effectively.

         2. Criminalisation

For Anti-Money Laundering, various governmental agencies and financial entities pose controls. The government has announced the guidelines to prosecute those individuals who are involved in all such crimes. 

Here, our investigation experts help companies through novel techniques to investigate and present the findings with evidence to support organisations in taking litigation action against the people involved in such unlawful activities.

      3. Management and Logging of Records

It is essential to keep the detailed records of all activities, including transactions, and the implement systems to detect illegal actions. 

Proper characterisation of data of any entity is a crucial tool to manage the suspicious acts. 

Many companies appoint us for support in reviewing of transactions & records from an independent third-party forensic eye.
