Money Laundering Risk

Dear Colleague,

The continuing threat of money laundering through financial institutions is most effectively managed by understanding and addressing the potential money laundering risks associated with customers and transactions. Therefore, ProEdge Global together with CFE In Practice has developed this program to assist institutions in managing money laundering risks and further the goal of government’s initiatives to prevent the use of their banking & financial institutions for criminal purposes.

It is well understood that money launderers go to great lengths to make their transactions indistinguishable from legitimate transactions. Accordingly, it is difficult for a banking or financial institutions to distinguish between legal and illegal transactions,
notwithstanding the development and implementation of a reasonably designed risk based approach in an institution’s anti-money laundering program.

An assessment of money laundering risks will result in the application of appropriate due diligence when entering into a relationship, and ongoing due diligence and monitoring of transactions throughout the course of the relationship. A reasonably designed risk based approach will provide a framework for identifying the degree of potential money laundering risks associated with customers and transactions and allow for an institution to focus on those customers and transactions that potentially pose the greatest risk of money laundering.

ProEdge Global believes that this program will support risk management and assist banking & financial institutions in exercising business judgement with respect to their clients. Accordingly, this program seeks to articulate relevant considerations which institutions may find useful in developing and implementing a reasonably designed risk based approach. The specifics of an institution’s particular risk based process should be determined by each institution based on the operations of that institution.

This program is not designed to prohibit potential customers from engaging in transactions with institutions, but rather assist institutions in effectively managing potential money laundering risks.
