Compliance bancário e a prevenção do crime de branqueamento

Abstract

This dissertation focuses on the studies of Compliance, especially Banking Compliance,the legislation on money laundering, and finally, the Danske Bank Case.After a thorough analysis of the subject and the case above mentioned, it was found that only the correct application of the bank's statutory duties as well as a strong and transparent cooperation with supervising Authorities will be effective to prevent money laundering in financial institutions; the adoption of a strong compliance system - applied by the Compliance Officer as well as by all the employees - in proportion to the nature,size and complexity of the entity is required and necessary to prevent the use of banking institutions in illicit activities; the approach made by the three-line defence model is fallible and need, at least, one new line of defence; the corporate culture influences the effective application of the compliance system, nevertheless, the reporting platforms are relevant in the prevention of illicit activities.
