AML / CFT
Our AML/CFT Practice Group advises financial institutions, gaming companies and other entities subject to Cambodia’s AMLCFT Laws on the various impacts that such laws have on the structuring of their organizations, development and implementation of policies, employee screening and training and reporting obligations.
In addition to providing advice to our clients during the “good times”, we are able to provide assistance to clients who are in the process of being audited by the Cambodian Financial Intelligence Unit.
