Broken inside, broken outside: The global fight against Trade-Based Financial Crime
Eastnets and Finextra Research Report: Trade Based Financial Crime
Research Report
Trade-based financial crime drains $1.6 trillion from the global economy each year. Criminals exploit gaps in international trade, using tactics like misinvoicing and document manipulation to move illicit funds.
Many institutions struggle with fragmented internal systems while navigating a complex and shifting regulatory landscape. Despite recognising the value of AI, most are slow to adopt the technology needed to stay ahead.
Produced by Eastnets and Finextra, this report provides actionable strategies and recommendations to help you stay compliant and ahead of criminal networks.
Key Findings from the 2024 Report:
