Guide to U.S. Anti-Money Laundering Requirements, Frequently Asked Questions

Protiviti’s Guide to U.S. Anti-Money Laundering Requirements, Frequently Asked Questions provides responses to nearly 3,000 questions aggregated from our clients, attorneys, regulators, members of law enforcement, academics and others interested in the requirements and challenges that companies face in addressing the complex and dynamic topics of anti-money laundering/combatting financial terrorism (AML/CFT) and sanctions compliance. The responses have been drawn from numerous regulatory publications, issuances and guidance from other governmental agencies and law enforcement, industry publications, media reports as well as Protiviti’s work with a wide range of companies.

The Guide summarizes basic principles of money laundering and terrorist financing, discusses U.S. legal and regulatory requirements and practical considerations that companies should address in designing and maintaining effective compliance programs, and provides insights on the synergies and differences between AML/CFT compliance programs and other overlapping areas of compliance.

We hope the Guide is a useful resource for your AML/CFT and sanctions compliance needs.
