...Since the 1970s financial regulators around the world have increasingly focused on introducing Anti Money Laundering (“AML”) measures to fight organised crime and tax evasion. While several national and international acts have set a legal framework for enforcement, the terrorist attacks on 11th September 2001 (“9/11”) have established fighting terrorist financing as another major objective among regulators. In subsequent years AML measures have constantly been revised to adjust to the complexity of the international financial markets. As a result financial institutions have to cope with additional costs, more difficult customer relations and legal as well as geographical constraints. More comprehensive customer due diligence and complex mandatory monitoring system in particular cause difficulties for the banking sector. Consequently several big institutions such as HSBC and Citigroup have already been fined for failing to comply with AML laws. Regulations have changed the financial sector. This essay will analyse the impact of the 9/11 attacks on the regulatory framework as well as the effects of AML on the financial industry. Page 3 of 16 2. MEASURES TAKEN AML has been on the agenda of regulators well before 9/11. However, the actions of prosecutors were more focused on fighting organised crime, drug and weapon dealing as well as tax evasion. 9/11 shifted the attention towards fighting terrorism and initiated Counter Terrorist Financing (“CTF”) laws. It was not until 9/11...

...BUS 632: Advanced Logistics Instructor: Erick Aguilar February 15, 2016 Aero Marine Logistics In the year 1996, Aero Marine Logistics (AML) is a private limited company which was incorporated in South Delhi. There are two professional promoters that have 15 years of experience combined. The experience is from Tata Steel, which is a company in India that is one of the oldest and biggest in the area. The two promoters had experience in shipping, customs, transportation and forwarding. AML has been able to construct a successful infrastructure in the past five years and have gathered personnel that are very experienced in the logistics field. AML was able to be one of first companies in South Delhi to provide door-to-door delivery. A concept that AML has been able to implement is being a “specialist in customized solutions and services” which is not heard of in northern India in the transportation industry (Murphy & Wood, pg. 173). AML is able to control all of logistics for their customers. The services offered are; import consolidation, door-to-door services, exports and consultancy on customs and logistics. Import consolidation is when a company is able to combine their cargo in coordinates with other shippers. With these consolidation AML is able to save on shipping charges and other extra costs of transportation. “AML has a well-spread network of offices and trade connections in the United States, Europe, the Far East, and the Middle East to render import consolidation...

...terrorists and organized crime, which contributed to spread terror and uncertainty in a context which saw our country weakened by corruption. Things change and criminals’ ways to operate do too, but there is a need that never goes out of fashion for them: the attempt to conceal or disguise the true nature, source and ownership of the proceeds which have a criminal or illicit origin and transform those into seemingly legitimate income. Consequences would be a very strong negative impact on national GDP and, therefore, undermined stability and reputation of the financial sector. That is to say criminals will always try to take advantage of flaws of the system for their illicit purposes, using different techniques. The discipline related to AML (anti-money laundering) needs to be constantly implemented, reviewed and periodically revised, taking into account the constantly changing nature of the phenomenon in question and terrorist financing threats. This explains why EU needed to go again through the discipline...

...designated wilderness, wilderness study area, National Conservation Area and National Monument but a large part of the property held by the BLM is essentially empty and available for most public uses ("Abandoned Mine Lands", 2014). The Bureau of Land Management’s Abandoned Mine Lands (AML) program enhances public safety and improves water quality by reducing or eliminating the effects of past hardrock mining in the western United States. BLM maintains an inventory of known abandoned mine lands on public lands ("Abandoned Mine Lands", 2014). Most of the sites are abandoned hardrock mines. As of April 18, 2014, the inventory contained nearly 46,000 sites and 85,000 features. Approximately 23% of the sites have either been remediated, have reclamation actions planned or underway, or do not require further action. The remaining 80% require further investigation and/or remediation ("Abandoned Mine Lands", 2014). The BLM and its partners are working on sharing and displaying AML spatial data within a National Mine Land Inventory. BLM and its “Cooperative Conservation” partners mitigate hazards to protect public health and safety, and restore watersheds for resources, recreation, fish, and wildlife. The AML program helps restore the environment and improve safety for visitors and users of public lands ("Abandoned Mine Lands", 2014)....

...Analysis of AML Total Hip Replacement BMEN 3311: Biomaterials Professor: Wei Shen Trevor Springer: sprin222@umn.edu Kristen Williams: will3893@umn.edu 1 Background Every year within the United States, over 332,000 people receive a hip replacement1. Hip replacements, arthroplasty, are a medical procedure where diseased parts of the hip joint are removed from the patients and replaced with an artificial hip. The main causes for needing a hip replacement is for the wearing down of the hip joint. This wear down can result from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, injury, and bone tumors2. DePuy Synthes first introduced a total hip replacement in the 1970s, later introducing the AML Total Hip system in 1983. According to DePuy,...

...international organization to undertake significant actions to fight against money laundering through adopting several conventions and resolutions. Following UN action, the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) was formed by G-7 countries in 1989 as the first intergovernmental body which has recommended forty recommendations to combat money laundering in 1990. In October 2001, the FATF expanded its mandate to deal with the funding of terrorist acts and terrorist organization, and it took the important step of creating the Eight (later expanded to Nine) Special Recommendations on Terrorist Financing. These 40+9 Recommendations have been endorsed by over 180 countries and are universally recognized as international standard for AML/CFT program. To oversee the implementation of these recommendations in Asia Pacific Region, the Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG), FATF-style regional body, was founded in 1997, of which Bangladesh is a founding member. FATF has...

...risk of money laundering in either limited- or high-risk situations. This is in spite of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) espousing a country-specific risk analysis and application of a regulative framework for all forms of business relationships. The rationale for adopting the risk-based approach is that a better understanding of the extent, form, production and disposal or use of the proceeds of crime helps to determine the appropriate interventions. Tentative steps towards establishing trends in money laundering and the financing of terrorism have been taken over the past few years. A team of World Bank experts visited Botswana at the end of 2006 to assess the implementation of the FATF anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism (AML and CFT) standards. In early 2007 the Directorate on Corruption and Economic Crime (DCEC), in collaboration with the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) of South Africa, undertook research to establish trends in money laundering in Botswana. The findings are yet to be publicised. However, what is apparent is that these investigations were by no means exhaustive. This paper is a contribution to the discourse on money laundering and the financing of terrorism in Botswana. It provides an overview of Botswana’s AML/CFT regimes. This will follow...

...“I confirm that this assignment represents my own work and where quotations and/or ideas have been utilized from other sources these have been acknowledges and referenced accordingly.” Assignment I Question 1 Alliance Bank (Bahamas Ltd) is an established offshore bank with an international presence, through a network of subsidiaries, branches and representative offices in over 15 locations. The referenced branch is located in jurisdiction of The Bahamas. A full range of banking and related financial products and services are offered to clients including but not limited to, bank accounts, wire transfers, cash deposits, and credit cards. Money laundering can be defined as the process of disguising or concealing illicit funds to make them appear legitimate. This is achieved by the launders disguising their identity and or distancing themselves from the illicit activity that would have produced his property. It is imperative then that MLROs fully appreciate the vulnerabilities of their Bank’s particular products and services in order to be able to implement systems to prevent exploitation, and be able to properly evaluate unusual and potentially suspicious activity. The core characteristics and vulnerability of the products and services previously mentioned, from the perspective of anti-money laundering are as follows: Bank Accounts: Bank accounts are the entry point into the financial system. Once this is achieved the launderer has access to a wider network of vehicles...

Some of the issues to be considered before implementing an AML reporting system are: • Reporting lines and • The characteristics of the reporting system such as: 1. Need for all the reports should be in written form, even if they are made in verbal initially 2. Whether employees are asked to put their names to suspicion reports and managers & supervisors are asked to comment on these reports 3. The ways by which the MLRO regularly addresses...

...historically been dominated by the “Big 4” iron ore producers: Vale, BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Anglo American, who have in turn acted as price-setters for the rest of the industry. In recent years, the emergence of Fortescue Metals has challenged their dominance; however, the sector remains dominated by a few key players. In addition to competing globally with the “Big 4” and Fortescue, African Minerals also faces competition from other large African iron ore producers such as ArcelorMittal and Kumba. Due to the concentrated nature of the iron ore industry, African Minerals’ competitive position may also be negatively affected by the ability of its competitors effectively to act as price setters for the rest of the sector, resulting in AML operating as a price-taker. Additionally, some of African Minerals’ competitors will have advantages over the Company in terms of geographic location in relation to customers and other large international iron ore companies may have greater financial resources and more extensive global operations than...

...functioning white blood cells, the body is at risk of developing severe and sometimes fatal infections. Different types of leukemia Acute leukemia develops within days to weeks, and large numbers of immature cells called "blasts" build up. These cells can't function as well as normal white blood cells, so people with acute leukemia are at a higher risk of infection. Because the body is so busy producing "blasts," it can't make as many red blood cells or platelets, which can cause anemia and bleeding disorders. Chronic leukemia, which progresses over the course of months to years, involves overproduction of mature white blood cells that cannot function like normal white blood cells. There are 4 types of leukemia: Acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of leukemia in children. It is the result of an uncontrolled production of a type of white blood cell called lymphocytes. This causes a buildup of...
