Description
A man walks into your financial institution and requests a wire transfer to Burma. It's a pretty small amount and he says he wants to pay for the transaction with cash. So, you go ahead and do it. Easy enough, right? You probably process wire transfers everyday. It turns out, the man you helped was a drug trafficker sending money overseas to fund his drug cartel.
It makes you sick, doesn't it? How do you stop that from happening? That's what the Office of Foreign Assets Control, or OFAC, helps with. In this course, we'll discuss the origin of the OFAC and its responsibilities. We'll also talk about the various laws it administers, so that you and your financial institution can avoid possible violations.
