"The best estimate of the amounts available for money-laundering would be equivalent to some 2.7% of global GDP or USD1.6 trillion in 2009."

(UNODC Research Report Oct 2011)

 "Lose money for the firm and I will be understanding. Lose a shred of reputation for the firm and I will be ruthless."

"You may think you know about AML, but do you really GET it?"

(Unnamed Federal Reserve Bank of New York Officer)

Introducing i-KYC

In the confusing Anti-Money Laundering landscape firms struggle to maintain an appropriate defence against the many faces of financial crime. Fortunately, larger corporations all have well developed Compliance functions to understand and advise which regulations are relevant and develop corporate policy to cope with them.

But why then have so many well run and respected companies nevertheless been subjected to significant penalties and criminal proceedings due to regulatory transgressions?

The answer to this question lies in the organisation's ability to translate corporate Compliance policies into practical operational controls and procedures that go beyond merely ticking the boxes, yet do not create an expensive and bureaucratic overhead that stifles commercial agility.

international KYC is a leading Anti-Money Laundering advisory and training firm with experienced business people who know that your company needs to fully adhere to the anti-money laundering rules and make money.
