Trade Based Financial Crime Masterclass
International trade finance is a complicated product offered by financial institutions because banks only have visibility limited to the documents only and the fact that there are multiple stakeholders involved in a single trade finance transaction adding further risk and complexity. Multi-millions of transactions are conducted every year supported by shipment of products through millions of vessels, trucks, and aircraft on annual basis, sometime passing higher risk jurisdictions, containing dual-use good or even prohibited items.
