Anti-money laundering investigations can be costly and can result in serious disruptions to a company’s operations, as well as reputational damage.
Fines and financial penalties can run into the tens of millions of dollars, individuals can be barred from working in the financial sector, and criminal charges can lead to imprisonment.
