The string of Money Laundering cases showcased in the media throughout 2018 including Danske Bank, Deutsche Bank, Pilatus Bank, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, and ABLV Bank Latvia have cogently demonstrated the huge inadequacies in pre-existing Know Your Client (KYC), Anti- Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-the-Financing of Terrorism (CFT) compliance frameworks.

Moreover, reports in the United Kingdom (UK) have identified key areas of concern, such
as law firms and trust and corporate service providers as being high risk for exposure to money laundering. In addition, reports by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) have identified areas of weakness.
