Lawyers and accountants as “gatekeepers†to combat money laundering – an international comparison – Maria Italia
This article examines the measures recommended by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to bring professional “gatekeepersâ€, including lawyers and accountants, into the battle against money laundering. The article describes the measures taken in a number of jurisdictions, contrasting those that generally have complied with the FATF requirements with those that have been less compliant. Money laundering and tax avoidance are often closely linked and revenue authorities have been known to work with criminal investigators. To this end, the article looks at the effect of an obligation upon professional advisors to report suspicions about their clients’ transactions to government authorities, which might threaten the important element of loyalty and trust essential to the lawyer-client, or accountant-client, relationship.
