CAMS Exam Dumps : Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS7 the 7th edition)

D: “Cooperation and coordination between regulatory authorities, law enforcement agencies, and FIUs are essential for effective AML investigations, especially in cross-border cases. This is often accomplished through formal agreements, MOUs, and information-sharing mechanisms.”(CAMS 6th Edition, International Cooperation in AML/CFT; FATF Recommendations 36-40)

Cryptoassets, such as cryptocurrencies, pose specific ML/TF risks due to their technological characteristics and usage patterns:

Potential for anonymity (C): Cryptoassets allow users to make transactions without revealing their true identities, which hinders law enforcement from tracking illicit activity. The CAMS 6th Edition states:“Cryptoassets can be transferred or exchanged between users without the need for identification, presenting a significant risk due to the potential for anonymity.”(CAMS 6th Edition, Chapter: Risks and Methods of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing, Virtual Assets section)

Global reach (D): Cryptoassets operate on a global scale, enabling rapid cross-border transfers without the limitations of traditional financial systems. This increases the complexity of monitoring and controlling illicit transactions.“The global nature of virtual assets makes it easy for criminals to move value across borders quickly, evading jurisdictional controls.”(CAMS 6th Edition; FATF Guidance on Virtual Assets 2019)

Use to layer illicit funds (F): The ability to move cryptoassets between numerous wallets and exchanges allows criminals to obscure the source of funds through layering, a key stage of money laundering.“Layering can be achieved by rapidly moving cryptoassets between wallets, exchanges, and across different jurisdictions, making tracing more difficult.”(CAMS 6th Edition, Chapter: Risks and Methods of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing)
