Bank Secrecy Act: The Fundamentals - CIP, CDD, EDD, CTR and Current Issues

Money laundering is a matter of serious concern in most countries of the world.  Its strong link with drug-related activity and terrorist violence make it a potent combination. Funding is the lifeblood of such activities, because none of this can happen without sound financing.
As perpetrators assail every loophole in the financial system to transfer funds illegally for abetting such acts, the banking system cannot hope to contain these nefarious activities unless it wakes up and adapts modern methods.
Most banks have implemented software which throws up red flags whenever there are unusual or suspicious transaction patterns. However, this is not sufficient, as perpetrators are aware of this and outsmart the system. It is all about who outmaneuvers the other.evolution-bank-secrecy 

Anti-money Laundering (AML) and Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) are two of the recent regulations aimed at containing money laundering. How should banks and financial institutions implement these regulations?

The Proper Way to Correct I-9 Documents and Not Pay Penalties

Surprising as it might sound, many employers are either unaware of I-9 documents penalties and fines, or are willing to take the risk of noncompliance. This is a very bad situation to be in, something that has been compounded by the fact that the regulatory agencies are communicating more than ever before on this topic. The way in which the departments communicate with each other makes it easier for them to target employers. Yet, the fact is that most complaints come from disgruntled employees, while others come from audits of target industries. Moreover, the DHS developed a new I-9 Form effective from January 21, 2017, which has to be used immediately. This makes it imperative for employers to be aware of all the new guidelines for completing the new I-9 form as well as the ongoing regulations. A webinar that is being organized by Traininng.com, a leading provider of professional training for all the areas of regulatory compliance, will give proper understanding and perspective on ...

Fashion industry ‘waking up’ to benefits of blockchain technology, robotics

Blockchain and robotics are becoming increasingly popular in the global fashion industry as brands look to increase transparency and improve efficiencies, according to GlobalData. While it is still in its infancy, blockchain technology has the potential to transform the global supply chain, says Michelle Russell, apparel correspondent at GlobalData. She says that during the last few years, the adoption of blockchain technology amongst apparel and textile companies has grown substantially as the pressure to have more visibility in the supply chain ramps up. “Its uses are varied as companies use the ledger to address problems in unethical behaviour, excess waste, the origin of goods, and counterfeiting.” German start-up Retraced recently launched a blockchain-based transparency solution that it is trialling with a number of fashion brands. Other examples include OpenSC which received US$4 million in seed funding for its platform that aims to build transparency around commodities know...
