bestpowerpointtemplates.com Conclusions of money laundering questionnaire We have reached a number of conclusions related to the money laundering questionnaire, we enlist it as following: 1. Our SAI’s law does not contain specific articles about its roles and responsibilities on the prevention and detection of money laundering, as well as no anti-money laundering strategy has been developed within our SAI and in case of emergence of indicators, our SAI will conduct fundamental tests in this regard. 2. Our SAI approach in the detection and investigation of money laundering is proactive and reactive through its regular audit and referral of complaints received. Upon discovery of red flags or symptoms of money laundering during a regular audit, our SAI will conduct the following: Red flags will be referred by the SAI to the inspector general concerned to conduct investigation and inform the Commission of Integrity with investigation’s results. In case of inadequacy of the investigation conducted by Inspector General, our SAI will forward that case to Commission of Integrity to take actions and refer cases to affiliated courts in case of proving these accusations.
14
bestpowerpointtemplates.com As well as there are a number of mechanisms to promote and intensify detection of money laundering, we include it as following: Citizens help desk Promulgation of relevant accounting and auditing rules and regulations Governing Code of Ethics for Government Accountants and Auditors In addition to that, few personnel have adequate training in the detection and investigation of money laundering. Furthermore, our SAI is keen to engage his employees in training programs and workshops, especially on the topics of anti-money laundering to ensure the knowledge and experience needed in this area. Our SAI issues a special audit report, specifying the detected money laundering incidents and the persons responsible/liable and the laws and rules violated to be submitted to Commission of Integrity, auditees and inspector general with recommendations to take legal actions against violators.
15
bestpowerpointtemplates.com Our SAI efforts are Preventive actions by providing recommendations to improve entity’s anti-money laundering and internal control system and sharing best practices and benchmarking information to assist decision-makers. Factors that hamper our SAI’s role in the fight against money laundering are represented by corrupt people who not severely punished and the cover up subordinates by their superiors. There is close cooperation between our SAI and anti-corruption agencies reflected by his membership in the Anti-Corruption council and Central Bank of Iraq's Monetary Laundering Reporting Office.
