World-Check to Host Compliance Seminar in Helsinki, Finland on 13 October

LONDON - World-Check, the leading provider of end-to-end risk management services, will be hosting a specialist seminar in Helsinki for industry practitioners on best practice Anti Money Laundering (AML) risk management procedures.

The key speaker at the event is Kenneth Rijock, a former money launderer and banking lawyer turned financial crime consultant. With more than 25 years of experience in the field, Mr. Rijock consults with law enforcement and the financial services industry, and assisted the first joint Swiss-American investigation of bankers and lawyers, which resulted in a major seizure of the proceeds of crime. Full details of the event are available on the World-Check website www.world-check.com

The Act on Preventing and Clearing Money Laundering and Funding of Terrorism (503/2008) came into force in Finland on 1 August 2008. This Act transposes the EU Third Directive into national law. A significant requirement of the directive is a move towards a risk-based approach for the prevention of money laundering. Identifying individuals and gauging the potential risks of doing business with them has been one of the greatest compliance requirements regulated institutions around the world have had to meet. World-Check is the industry pioneer and authority on identifying heightened risk individuals and entities, their relationship networks and the risk they may pose to institutions and companies. World-Check covers 24 risk categories and is relied upon by more than 3800 clients across multiple industries.
