Siloed thinking can harm your ability to prevent crime. By exploring the combination of fraud and AML,
you can improve your detection abilities and ultimately prevent financial crime.
In this white paper:
Chris Swecker, retired Assistant Director, FBI and former Global Security Director, Bank of America, presents real-life financial crime cases to support his argument that separating fraud detection from anti-money laundering negatively impact efforts to prevent financial crime.
A US Attorney’s ominous warning:
“Federal law requires banks to implement a robust and proactive anti-money laundering program to detect fraud and protect the public from harm. Other financial institutions should heed this warning: the Bank Secrecy Act applies to more than just drug and terrorist financing.”
