"Money laundering and complex scams
straddle multiple jurisdictions,
taking advantage of the gaps in oversight and cooperation
between national authorities."
Mr Lee Hsien Loong
Deputy Prime Minister & Chairman of the Monetary Authority of Singapore
Money laundering activities are increasingly difficult to detect due
to the growing complexity of financial instruments, corporate vehicles and schemes. The problem is
compounded by the high volume of transactions, well-equipped and well-funded perpetrators, the increased
role of professionals, and the use of sophisticated technologies that eliminate traditional face-to-face
interaction with customers. Both financial and non-financial businesses are at risk.
The level of fines has sky-rocketed to US$20 Million. Asian regulators are also tightening the screws - the
Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued new guidelines in March 2003, requiring AML software amongst
many other measures. Management of Asian businesses need to take action.
Guest-of-honour
Mr Ravi Menon, Assistant Managing Director (Complex Institutions), Monetary Authority of Singapore, will
deliver the introductory speech at the conference.
