Anti Money Laundering Market Definition

Anti money laundering software is used by companies to detect suspicious activities by persons or organizations who are trying to generate income through illegal actions. Compliance professionals use this software to comply with regulations such as the Bank Secrecy Act and with corporate policies regarding financial fraud. Accountants and managers from all departments can also benefit from using this type of software when evaluating new customers and suppliers. Additionally, anti-money laundering software is used by banks and financial institutions to detect suspicious and fraudulent activities that may impact their profitability and damage their reputation.

Companies can work with anti money laundering software vendors to avoid doing business with corrupt individuals or organizations that are suspicious of financial fraud, terrorist financing, or securities market manipulation.

Anti-money laundering software uses information from multiple solutions that are used to manage financial transactions, such as ERP systems and accounting software. For large companies with high volumes of financial transactions, integration with corporate performance management software can also be beneficial.
