Anti-Money Laundering

Given the increasing regulatory requirements on Anti Money Laundering (AML) Regulations, MBG understand the importance of tackling gaps in existing frameworks and designing an AML Compliance program that takes into account the various organizational risks and offer forward-thinking solutions.

    Anti-Money Laundering (AML) refers to a set of laws, regulations, and practices aimed at preventing and detecting the illegal process of disguising the origins of funds obtained through criminal activities as legitimate income. Money laundering involves making illegally obtained funds appear legal by routing them through a complex series of transactions or activities, ultimately making it difficult to trace the original source of the funds.
