As a special point of interest one of our regions most prolific problems is businesses exposure to money laundering activities.  Thus the importance of developing and maintaining an effective Anti-Money Laundering program has never been more critical.  With the passage of the USA Patriot Act in October of 2001, the range of organizations which need to comply with anti-money laundering requirements grew significantly to include banks, broker-dealers, casinos, currency exchanges, insurance companies, investment companies, dealers of automobile, airplane and boats, sellers of precious metals and jewels and travel agencies. The risks of non-compliance for these companies include civil monetary and criminal penalties, increased regulatory attention and the threat of damaging the organizations reputation.   CLA Investigations provides a range of proactive solutions to assist companies in avoiding possible exposure and reactive solutions for exposed companies.
