Reykjavik, Iceland -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2022 -- Last month, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which is the global financial terrorist and money laundering watchdog, issued some new advice for EU states in terms of Anti-Money Laundering Compliance. FATF also acknowledged how much of an impact several events had made in terms of financial terrorism and money laundering, including the war in Ukraine and the pandemic. A rise in the level of money laundering in the wake of the pandemic and the conflict has meant that there are now many more risks for EU businesses to contend with. Other risk factors include the increase in the size of the gambling sector during the pandemic and the explosion in online gambling in recent years.

One particular innovation for businesses to focus on when it comes to Anti Money Laundering Compliance, according to FATF, is crypto assets. In conjunction with the increase in the size of the online gambling sector, this represents an area where a recalculation of risk has been necessary. Cash also remains a problem and the most recent advice from FATF highlighted the problems of banknotes during the pandemic, primarily that the demand for banknotes rose even though the number of cash transactions fell significantly. In terms of threats to Anti Money Laundering Compliance for the online gambling sector, these primarily result from member states being targeted by unauthorised gambling operators, as well as anonymous the rise in money processing platforms and virtual currencies.

Anti-Money Laundering Compliance continues to be a problem for authorities and organisations across the Nordics - and on a global level. The latest advice from FATF indicates just how much worse things have become in the past couple of years and how many more opportunities now exist for financial criminals. However, there is always something that a business can do to help protect against exposure to money laundering and financial crime. This is a goal that the team at Lucinity has been working towards with its Anti-Money Laundering Compliance software, which has been designed in line with the business' mission to Make Money Good. This software is created to be intentionally easy to use, making it accessible to every type of enterprise, large or small, and it is genuinely useful when it comes to Anti Money Laundering Compliance.
