“Money Laundering Risk Management”
Betty Santangelo
Partner
SCHULTE, ROTH & ZABEL, LLP
New York, New York

Every time a funds transfer or check hits the system, every time money flows out of the system, an institution faces exposure to charges of potential money laundering or violations of the OFAC rules. The challenge is to establish operational procedures and systems that mitigate that risk by identifying potential transactions that could involve violations of these rules by money launderers or terrorists.

What procedures and systems should institutions use to avoid these risks? How can you protect your institution from exposure to inadvertent, as well as deliberate, attempts to use the institution to foster money laundering and terrorist activities? How do you stay up-to-date on money laundering techniques to ensure that your procedures are current? These are some of the questions we will discuss as we look at money laundering operational-risk management in today’s financial services industry.
