Anti-Money Laundering Regulations: Business information products help companies maintain compliance
VIP No. 33 provides overview and discussion

When it comes to financial regulations, what you don't know can hurt you very much. Anti-money laundering regulations put the burden on companies to investigate their customers, colleagues and associates to prevent commerce with criminals.

VIP, a monthly digital magazine of product reviews and news analysis in the premium content industry, provides a quick-study introduction to a highly complex topic in its Issue No. 33, published August 2006. VIP No. 33 devotes most of its attention to the ins and outs of financial compliance, complete with a summary of products and services available on the market to help companies meet the standards of regulation for Know Your Customer, due diligence and other requirements.

Editor Pam Foster began to look at compliance products in direct response to requests from readers. 'I look to readers to tell me what products and topics they are interested in', she explains. 'More and more readers were asking about financial compliance - the regulations are complicated and poorly understood outside of specialist groups. At the same time, there are so many comprehensive business information products and services serving this niche that a comparative article seemed to fill an unmet need'.

Among the vendors and compliance-oriented products described in the issue are Alacra, Complinet, Corpfin Worldwide, D&B, Experian, Factiva, ICC, IntegraScreen, LexisNexis Butterworths, World-Check, and many others. Theo De Regibus, Sales and IT Director for RM Online, also contributed a detailed article on UK anti-money laundering regulations; the kinds of companies affected by the regulation; steps companies must take to be in compliance; and resources they can turn to for guidance.

Single copies of VIP start at £45 (plus VAT, where applicable) for usage at a single site; annual subscriptions start at £245 (plus VAT) for a single-site license.
