As technology continues to develop, the ways and means criminals operate is constantly evolving so that they benefit from their criminal activities without detection. Financial Crime is often perceived to be limited to Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorism, but in reality, the term ‘Financial Crime’ includes a wider array of other related criminal activities such as bribery and corruption, market abuse and insider trading, tax evasion and cybercrime amongst others.
The rapidly increasing focus on compliance and the associated costs that come with it are substantial, and at all levels, the penalties for failure have become ever more significant. This means that the prevention and detection of Financial Crime is evolving to be one of the most critical challenges, the impact of which extends well beyond monetary losses. Reputation and brand, employee morale, business relations, as well as regulatory censure are but a few of other areas impacted by Financial Crime threats.
PwC has a diverse and dedicated team of compliance and anti-financial crime professionals, policy and regulation advisors, lawyers and industry practitioners, working to assist you in the following areas:
The regulatory landscape, particularly with regards to AML/CFT, is evolving at a very rapid pace.
Sanctions place restrictive measures affecting the countries concerned and often target specific individuals (designated persons), companies and organisations which are identified as being involved with activities triggering such sanctions.
In today’s world the importance of honest and transparent dealing has been on the forefront of companies’ agenda. Companies need to take steps to review their current procedures aimed at preventing bribery and corruption by identifying any gaps and limiting their exposure to such activities.
The fight against tax shortfalls and tax evasion is a priority as the world is now dealing with a new era of tax transparency.
Market integrity must be preserved in order to avoid potential regulatory arbitrage, to ensure accountability in the event of attempted manipulation, and to provide more legal certainty and less regulatory complexity for market participants.
