Anti-money laundering (AML) and financial crimes scrutiny now goes beyond traditional financial institutions, and AML and economic/trade sanctions remain a high priority for enforcement authorities as weapons against terrorist financing, drug trafficking, and other crimes.
KPMG Forensic professionals routinely assist financial institutions, with assessing the strength of their compliance with Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)/AML laws and the sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and other bodies. KPMG’s financial crimes professionals include former regulators, law enforcement officials, prosecutors, and compliance and AML officials from leading financial institutions with years of experience in BSA/AML/OFAC review and enforcement. Our team is fluent in the laws, regulations, and guidance.
