À propos de cet audio

 AML on the move. Money laundering is more prolific than ever. Legislation and AML initiatives continue to respond. But does it make a difference? The Laundromat is an unfiltered deep dive into the shadowy world of money laundering and its far-reaching consequences. From billion-dollar scandals in global banking to cybercriminal networks exploiting digital loopholes, we expose the intricate methods criminals use to clean dirty money. Each episode unpacks real-life cases—some shocking, some audacious—that reveal the hidden connections between financial crime, corruption, and economic instability. But it’s not just about the criminals; we also examine the regulators, the laws, and the ongoing battle to stay ahead of ever-evolving laundering techniques. This podcast is a must-listen for forensic accountants, AML specialists, cybercrime investigators, and anyone curious about the dark side of global finance. We bring in experts to discuss the red flags, failures in AML enforcement, and how AI and blockchain forensics are changing the game. Why does money laundering persist despite intense scrutiny? What are the biggest risks ahead? And most importantly, how does this impact ordinary people? Join us as we pull back the curtain on a world where trillions move in the shadows—because understanding financial crime is the first step to fighting it.Solid Gold Podcasts and Audiobooks Sciences sociales Économie

    Are we fighting crime or ticking boxes? | Oonagh van den Berg

    Discover what FSIs can do (and should do) but don't do, to fight crime.

    This episode with Oonagh van den Berg of Raw Compliance takes a bold step in re-looking at how we comply with our AML regulatory requirements.

    Oonagh argues that many current control frameworks are not fully fit for purpose as they were designed for a slower financial world and struggle to keep up with instant payments, embedded finance, crypto, and AI-driven fraud. While these frameworks may be technically compliant, they lack operational effectiveness.

    The conversation covers issues of overregulation, data fragmentation, the disconnect between compliance and business operations, and the limitations of Financial Action Task Force (FATF) evaluations.

    Oonagh advocates for a shift from rule-based to data-first, dynamic, and tech-enabled frameworks that can adapt to evolving criminal behaviours. She stresses the importance of compliance officers developing skills in data analytics, technology, and business understanding rather than focusing solely on regulatory knowledge Connect with Dawn on LinkedIn · The Shepherds of Inequality · Beyond Play

  • A lifestyle audit is just a piece of paper. Why bother?

    A lifestyle audit is just a piece of paper. Why bother?
    Dec 18 2025
    Lifestyle audits are symbolically unsubstantial.

    Lifestyle audits can be extremely valuable, especially considering the high level of crime within the public sector, and South Africa is a notable example.

    Many public departments treat audits as mere self-reporting exercises without verification. There is poor follow-through on findings, a lack of mandatory referral to criminal procedures, complications with offshore assets, and political interference.

    Pretorius concludes that lifestyle audits in South Africa remain largely symbolic rather than substantive, exposing corruption without deterring it. She argues that for lifestyle audits to be effective, they must be backed by law, enforced independently, and result in asset seizure and confiscation.

    Rethinking the RBA, AML effectiveness, and UBO failures.

    In this hard-hitting episode, Dawn Pretorius is joined by seasoned financial-crime expert Pieter Rossouw to unpack whether our global AML systems are truly fighting illicit finance — or unintentionally fuelling it. From the misuse of the risk-based approach, to the startling ineffectiveness of the global AML regime, to South Africa’s still-fragile UBO framework, this conversation asks the uncomfortable question: are we solving the problem, or sustaining it?
