Money laundering and terrorist financing worldwide, particularly those linked to illegal and irregular activities such as drug trafficking, weapons, prostitution, corruption and commercial concealment, pose a great threat to the integrity of many financial institutions and even some banking systems. The importance of this topic is made by many Governments, authorities and supervisories. Saudi Arabia's legislative and regulatory authorities have issued binding regulations and instructions to help financial institutions to avoid illegal operations, maintain the integrity and reputation of the banking system and protect them from regular sanctions. The boards of directors and executive management should therefore understand and know the legal requirements and the importance of protecting the financial institutions from the money laundering and terrorist financing risks.
