Basics of Money Laundering (Currently Unavailable)

Author: Paul McCormack

Money laundering is the process of concealing the source of illegally gained funds. Not surprisingly, money laundering and fraud go "hand and hand". In order to spend the proceeds of fraud, criminals want "clean" money that will not connect them to illegal or questionable activity. This webcast helps practitioners understand the steps associated with money laundering, the red flags associated with such activity and the laws — both domestic and international — designed to prevent and punish those involved. It includes "real world" cases involving money laundering, gathered from around the globe. The participants will also learn how banks detect, and prevent money laundering.
