Compliance requirements due to the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act
In April 2013, an outcry went through the media when over 1,000 people lost their lives in a building collapse of a textile factory in India.

What are the consequences of the results of the FATF audit for Germany?
On August 25, 2022 the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) published the final report ("Mutual Evaluation Report (MER)") on the audit of Germany. As a result, it should be noted that Germany has implemented considerable reforms over the past five years to better detect and combat money laundering activities and terrorism financing. These reforms are bearing fruits. However, further efforts are needed to optimize the effectiveness of prevention measures.

Re-Emergence of Foreign Terrorist Fighters (FTFs) − Current Challenges & Threats
The fundamental concept of “foreign fighters” is not a modern-day innovation; historically, fighters from abroad have participated in several civil wars. A recently published joint report by Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG) and Global Center on Cooperative Security attempted to explore the nuances of behavioural and financial profiles of FTFs in Southeast Asia by gathering and utilising financial intelligence by the Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) across this region to analyse and combat the catalytic effect of FTFs on terrorist activities.

Impact of Poor Data Quality on Compliance
Over the past years and decades, the majority of the financial world has invested large amounts to do full justice to the regulatory requirements in the area of compliance. This starts with the recruitment and training of qualified staff and ends with the implementation of regulatory requirements that are subject to constant change due to new services, products and processes. Screening and monitoring software systems have been implemented with great effort to check transactions for indications of money laundering and terrorism financing.

"Asset Peace" or Invitation to Money Laundering?
Turkey in the contradiction between money laundering prevention and asset peace. But Turkey is not alone. Russia, too, is no stranger to this. Turkey: a country between Orient and Occident, a country full of contrasts. Not only is it geographically partly in Europe, but also the motto of the founding father of this republic was: Always look to the West and not to the East. For decades, Turkey was considered pioneering and progressive for Muslim countries.
