Money Laundering Prevention

Money Laundering Prevention

In a globalized context, organizations are increasingly exposed to the risks of Money Laundering. Therefore, in recent years, regulations and requirements have been significantly increasing. At BDO, we advise and accompany Obligated Subjects in the comprehensive compliance with the UIF regulations and international standards.

Reported Parties are receiving unprecedented external pressure to act as the first line of defense in the global war against money laundering and terrorist financing. In order to avoid potentially serious consequences, Entities must proactively design and keep solid programs for the prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism (AML and CFT) and compliance with the Law.

At the local level, the FIU has deepened the requirements and inspections, paying special attention to the real identification of customers, the adequate design of processes and preventive controls as well as the definition of risk matrices, profiles and monitoring mechanisms according to the size and risk of each Entity.
