EXTRAS

 

White Paper Links Money Laundering, Mortgage Fraud

Now available on the Banking tab of the Internet Research NetWork is a new white paper, Money Laundering and Mortgage Fraud: The Growth of a Merging Industry

by CCH Banking Law Analyst Katalina M. Bianco, JD. In the white paper, Bianco shows how money laundering is an integral part of many mortgage fraud schemes, and has been connected with such other illegal activities as drug trafficking, prostitution and terrorism. Bianco notes that integrating a bank’s anti-money laundering programs under the Bank Secrecy Act with fraud detection can help combat the problem.

For a pdf of the white paper, click here: http://www.cch.com

Quick Tip of the Month

from the Training Department

 

Not sure where to begin researching in Federal Taxes or Federal Securities?

Use the Topic Navigator tool to browse or search topic categories. Topic Navigator gathers online content from multiple sources into a single topically-organized map. The tool helps locate particular topics of interest and then links directly to the available resources for those topics. Users can find information in two ways: (1) browsing through topics in the left pane, then drilling down to the desired item and accompanying document list (appearing in the right pane); or (2) performing a key word search in the “Search Topics” field, then clicking on the desired topics in the results list. Note: Green checkmarks indicate the reference is available within your subscription contents. If there is no green checkmark then you won’t be able to access the reference within the CCH Internet Research NetWork.
