Building a Fortress: AML/CFT Compliance Regime Development for FIs & DNFBPs
The global fight against money laundering and terrorist financing (AML/CFT) remains more critical than ever. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) estimates money laundering represents 2-5% of global GDP, translating to roughly USD 8-20 trillion annually. This highlights the urgent need for robust AML/CFT compliance regimes, particularly in high-risk regions identified by FATF due to weak regulatory frameworks or vulnerabilities exploited by criminals. At [Your Company Name], we offer comprehensive consulting services to develop and implement customized AML/CFT compliance regimes tailored to the specific needs of Financial Institutions (FIs) and Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs). Whether you're a bank navigating complex regulations or a real estate agent operating in a high-risk region, we can help you build a strong and sustainable defense.
