In Hollywood, money launderers tend to operate in an audience-friendly way, but reality is far more unstable and complex. The gritty truth is that the intense complexity and fluid nature of money laundering requires companies to implement and maintain an AML capability that operates as a finely tuned, powerful, and efficient engine. A well-designed anti-money laundering program can protect an enterprise from reputation damage, assist in legal compliance and ensure the organization is free from criminal wrongdoing.

The latest installment of OCEG's GRC Illustrated Series discusses how to develop a rigorous AML program that is flexible enough to adapt to new regulations and new threats, has all of the key elements required and, equally important, is designed with consideration of how these elements influence each other and operate in concert.
