2、s a worldwide industry that internal auditors are well suited to combat.Background on money launderingThe term money laundering is derived from activities carried out by organized crime,with used laundry cleaning businesses to disguise launder -large amounts of cash actually earned through extortion
3、, prostitution, gambling, and boot-legging. The money laundering process involves three basic steps.These steps can be achieved in one combined transaction or in three separate transactions.Placement.In this step,large amounts of illegally obtained cash are placed into the financial system,used to b
4、uy high-dollar goods,or smuggled out of the country.The idea is to transform the cash as quickly as possible into other types of assets and thud avoid detection. Layering.This step is performed to hide the illicit funds. Layering is accomplished by creating complex levels of financial transactions t
5、o obscure audit trails and cloak the true ownership of the funds. Some of the methods used are electronic funds transfers(EFTs), conversion into monetary instruments,investments in legitimate businesses, and the purchase of real estate.In many cases, EFTs are used to shuttle funds around between off
6、shore banks and shell companies.Since so many EFTs are processed each day, determining what is legitimate and what is not can be difficult indeed.Integration.The final step in money laundering integrates the newlylaunderedmoney into legitimate business operations.At that point,many future use of the
7、 money will further hide its original source. Three popular methods are used to integrate clean money. First , money launderers establish private corporations in other countries and route the money to these corporations.These foreign corporations can then provide loans to the money launderers back i
8、n the home country. Second ,phony invoices are created in import-export business, The import-export company give an inflated value to the export goods, and when the invoices are paid ,the cash is transferred ,including the laundered money, from oe company to the other. The invoices make the transfer
9、 of the money look legitimate.Third,the money launderer simply purchases an offshore bank. Illegally acquired founds are deposited in the new bank,then transferred via EFT to a legitimate bank. The problem of money launderingFor most people,money laundering itself is not considered a particularly he
10、inous crime.However, money laundering provides criminals with access to their proceeds.These proceeds can be used by money launderers to fund a myriad of other crimes.Money laundering furthers the ambitions of drug traffickers ,organized crime members,terrorists,and others.Money laundering also unde
11、rmines the integrity of financial markets. While large sums of laundered money may arrive at institutions, they may also disappear just as quickly, causing liquidity problems. In addition,governments lose revenue as a result of money laundering.Money laundering diminishes tax revenue, which often me
12、ans higher tax rates for other, honest citizens.John McDowell and Gary Novis, in Economic Perspectives, state that money laundering presents the world community with a complex and dynamic challenge. They believe that the nature of the problem calls for global standards and international cooperation
13、to reduce the ability of criminals to launder their proceeds and carry out their criminal activities.Current nature of the problem.Linda Davies writes, in Nest of Vipers, The money screamed across the wires, its provenance fading in a maze of electronic transfers,which shifted it, hid it, broke it u
14、p into manageable wads which would be withdrawn and redeposited elsewhere, obliterating the trail. She captures the essence of the current nature of the money laundering problem. In todays high-tech global environment, the money laundering process is even harder to trace than it was in the past. Alv
15、in James, Principal at Ernst and Young,LLP, examined the use of underground financial systems, such as the Colombian Black Market Peso Exchange (BMPE),by terrorists. He noted that while terrorists may not need to launder their money, they do need the means to move the funds covertly. James notes tha
16、t the major similarity among under- ground financial systems, also called parallel payment systems, is their ability to facilitate anonymous international transfers of money. That ability is what makes these existing systems so attractive to terrorists: they can use them to move the dollars needed t
17、o support their activities. Experts indicate that there should be more coordinated efforts against the BMPE and other money laundering operations. The nature of these efforts should include securities, insurance, and money一changing enterprises. Efforts should be made to force drug dollars out of the
18、 safety of the parallel payment systems and into an area less secure for them and more susceptible to law enforcement.The extent of the problem.It is difficult to precisely measure the extent of money laundering, including the number of terrorist dollars moving through the same financial channels. T
19、he people and organizations that engage in these activities obviously are not reporting them to the government. However, there have been numerous attempts to establish the magnitude of the problem.Money laundering around the globe has been estimated at $500 billion a year. John Walker Consulting Ser
20、vices in Australia has created a logical crime economic model that draws on public crime statistics and uses various socioeconomic inputs to estimate the percentage of crime proceeds that will be laundered and where it will take place.They aggregate these estimates and assess the likely extent of mo
21、ney laundering and each countrys contribution. Preliminary numbers from the model estimate the amount of money laundered globally at $2.85 trillion per year. The model breaks the total into various components. It ranks the sources of laundering and the destinations of the money. Unfortunately, the U
22、nited States ranks at the top of both these lists, with a 46.3 percent estimate as to origin of the laundered dollars and an 18.9 percent estimate as to the destination. While this model is not exact (or proven),there is no disagreement over the fact that money laundering is big business.The Colombi
23、an BMPE launders as much as $5 billion, or about half of U.S. whole- sale drug proceeds, each year. The BMPE is the primary vehicle used to counter the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA).The peso brokers smuggle large amounts of currency to countries that have correspondent relationships with U.S. banks. The fo
24、reign bank then sells a check in U.S. currency drawn on its U.S. correspondent account. The foreign banks accept the currency deposits and then order wire transfers from their correspondent accounts to whomever the depositor designates. The foreign bank is left with a large amount of U.S currency, w
