World Money Laundering Report Volume 12 Number 6 Published 17 December 2013 In this issue: + Iran: Sanctions may be easing but banks remain exposed in the USA, the EU... pretty much everywhere, actually. A deal may have been done in the stability of Geneva but it's built on the Middle East's shifting sands and the swamp of American politics. Worse, seeking independent advice isn't going to help. Don't be fooled by statements in the media : banks with a presence in the USA and banks doing business in USD are still at risk of criminal and regulatory litigation in the USA if they deal with Iranian businesses or state-owned enterprises. And it's not much simpler in the EU or anywhere else for that matter. ++ Give and take: charities and fraud. In the aftermath of 11 September 2001, much fuss was made about the use of charities for money laundering and the financing of terrorism. How much of that was justified and how much of it was scaremongering, a knee-jerk reaction to events that had shocked the USA and resonated around the world? The simple truth is that charities had long been a vehicle for fraud, money laundering and paying for causes, good and bad. Yet their monitoring and control had, simply, not been a sufficient priority. Yet, the pendulum has swung and, again, the focus is elsewhere. The spotlight needs to move back but not for the reasons you might think. +++ England and Wales: accountants find a way to use legal professional privilege The UK's Legal Services Board is about to approve the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales as a regulator for the purposes of the Legal Services Act 2007. One consequence is that accountants will gain something they have long coveted: the ability to afford their clients legal professional privilege, the last bastion of lawyers' status as the senior profession which has already been significantly eroded by other reforms.
