Published today on KYC360, Amazon: Prime Time for Penalties is my latest. It goes beyond the facial failures and tries to dig a little deeper – like, why did they not catch references to Yalta? Did they not have geographic place name data? Was the reference in a data element […]
It’s up in KYC360.com (aka RiskScreen.com) here – hope you like it!
That’s the subject of my new article for Regulation Asia – Humanitarian Trade with North Korea: A Matter of Trust. It’s not just finding a government that will provide a clearinghouse for the transactions and the associated due diligence and reporting – it’s navigating the geopolitics, too. Let me know […]
