Terrorist attacks by radicalized Muslims are happening almost every week now and show no sign of abating. Western populations are becoming restless and this threatens electoral stability. Authorities can be expected to put further pressure on financial institutions to discover terrorist networks before they succeed in causing death and destruction. It is the compliance officer who is in the frontline. The compliance officer is paid to keep the financial institution out of harms way. It is the compliance officer who will do jail time, if the financial institution is found to have failed in its duties. This little book will help the compliance officer determine when to carry out enhanced due diligence, report to management and file SARs on suspicious activity.
