The buzzword ‘financial crime’ is popping up everywhere - on LinkedIn, in the news and even on Netflix documentaries! But a lot of people have been asking how to really define financial crime? What is financial crime? And what are the legal job roles that can be associated with fighting the phenomena?
Financial crime, as outlined on our definitions page, and in line with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)’s guidelines, is “any kind of criminal conduct related to money, financial services or markets, that may involve fraud, misuse of information, handling the proceeds of crime or the financing of terrorism
The wide scope of financial crime means that there are a variety of rich and rewarding roles in the industry, from researching niche areas such as trade finance and illicit financial flows, to deep diving open source information and defending your findings in reports to clients.
You can help on a personal level, supporting individuals against fraud by contributing to learning modules on contemporary issues all the way up to supporting firms to comply with Anti-Money Laundering regulations and making recommendations to fill the gaps in their existing efforts.
If you haven’t already heard of due diligence, this is certainly a keyword to add to your toolkit too, no matter what role you’re thinking of applying for. Client due diligence (CDD) and enhanced due diligence (EDD) are crucial procedures any company must undertake, whether it’s to check clients, investors or even potential lovers. By researching the history of the individual, you can create a full picture of who they are, where their wealth came from and if there are any red flags to be concerned about.
If you’re wondering how to get into financial crime - fighting it, not committing it - the following pointers may help:
Look into the entry level job descriptions.
Make sure you understand what the role entails and that you’re interested in it.
Check out qualifications and courses you can do to help you stand out and show your commitment! The International Compliance Association (ICA) does great courses for all levels of experience.
Research! Found a role you’re interested in? Why not type “What is a financial crime investigator” into Google and find real world examples of the role.
Most importantly - find a company you like the look of. Keep an eye out for their job openings and apply.
