ROUNDTABLE THE IMPACT OF NEW LEGISLATION ON MONEY LAUNDERING & FINANCIAL CRIME National governments have also reacted to the terrorist crisis by enacting new laws and appropriating new powers, some of which have been rushed through under emergency conditions. As this applies in the two most important international money centres, the impact could be considerable. In addition, the change in the application and enforcement of existing powers across the world imposes a new discipline on financial markets. - Summary of important new laws, such as US Patriot Law, across the world. - How to protect yourself from the risks associated with increased regulatory scrutiny. - Measuring the effectiveness of anti-money laundering efforts. - The impact on international banking and fund transfers. - New guidelines from banking regulators. |
