Report Highlights
The financial services sector is currently in the midst of a wave of investments to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. Since 2001, to a large extent triggered by the September 11 attacks, there has been an increased global effort by regulators to improve processes to detect and deter money launderers and terrorist financing.

Whilst increased regulatory and enforcement efforts represent the main drivers behind this trend, FSIs will approach the issue with a risk-based paradigm, which will result in varying approaches to AML projects by different types of institutions.
