Reykjavik, Iceland -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/09/2023 -- Money laundering was at the top of the agenda at the recent Anti-Corruption Conference that took place in December. The event attracted leaders from all over the world and the UK representative was particularly vocal about the need to continue the fight against corruption on a global level. The UK representative at the event was Karen Pierce, UK ambassador to the US, and she made several key points about the global efforts to fight illicit finance, including highlighting how the invasion of the Ukraine by Russia shows just how much of a threat corruption is to global stability. Pierce also focused on how illicit finance has been specifically used to gain access and influence, not just in the UK but countries all over the world. She said the message from the UK was about the necessity of redoubling efforts to counter these threats.
There are currently a wealth of measures in place to ensure AML Compliance in the UK and to improve the country's effort to fight illicit finance. The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act, for example, is currently going through the legislative process. It includes a reform that is designed to minimise the potential for the abuse of limited partnerships. There are also provisions in the new legislation that - once it is in place - will create more powers with respect to crypto currency, which is a whole new landscape for AML Compliance. The new Act will, among other things, provide new powers to seize crypto assets to make anti-money laundering provisions more effective.
This focus on AML Compliance is vital for countries all over the world, especially those like the UK and the US that are often leading the way in terms of response. Any such response requires AML Compliance to be embedded at every level if it is going to be truly effective and that's where a platform like Lucinity becomes so vital.
