Laundering money is a serious offense and your firm could lose its license without the proper protection
Laundering money is a serious business and if your firm is suspected of this underhanded practice in any way, they will be fined heavily, if not shut down for good. Laundering money boiled down to its most essential means to make dirty money clean. Laundering money starts when a criminal source wants to hide dirty money from the law and so it decides to invest it in securities or other similar investments. If a financial institution helps a criminal hide his illegally obtained funds, that firm could be in about as much trouble as the criminal himself.
When it comes to laundering money, the penalties have increased tremendously since that somber day on 9/11. Since then, the SEC has cracked down on any firm who is suspected of laundering money or dealing with any terrorist cells. Laundering money is about as serious a subject as you will face as a securities advisor and it needs to be given the strictest of attention in regards to your AML compliance program.
A strong AML compliance program is the only way that you will remain safe from the wrath of the SEC, and not be in jeopardy of being fined millions of dollars or having your firm taken away. If you want to never be accused of laundering money then make sure to always have all of your AML compliance paperwork in order when it is needed for review.
The problem for most securities firms when it comes to dealing with laundering money and having a strong AML program, is the amount of time that it takes to prepare an accurate and up to date AML compliance report. Many firms simply do not have the time to focus on laundering money issues or having to prepare lengthy and complex AML reports. What most firms have done in the wake of this SEC crackdown is to hire an outside anti laundering money compliance firm to handle all of their money laundering paperwork.
