Understanding the Risk

Financing transactions can be used to disguise the movement of illicit funds through complex corporate structures and layered transactions. Criminals may seek to use legitimate financing arrangements to integrate dirty money into the financial system. The Tranche 2 legislation requires advisors to verify client identities, understand the source of funds, and monitor for suspicious patterns in financing arrangements.
