5 Course Overview Background The cost for anti-money laundering compliance in both banking and non-banking institutions is increasing at an exponential rate. Financial crime is becoming highly sophisticated while the global financial ecosystem and regulators are playing catch-up to technology. Despite tremendous global coordination efforts by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on money laundering since its establishment in 1989, less than 1% of the global volume is detected according to the UN. The root cause however lies in the fact that the financial system and regulations are antiquated with today s sophistication of financial crime and technological opportunities.
