2023-02-13T17:55:23+00:00

The Central Board of Accountants is the institution in the Colombian State responsible for controlling, monitoring, investigating and punishing those who go against good habits, good faith and professional ethics of the Public Accountants. However, there are other international organizations approved by the government to be applied within the Colombian legal system, such as the Code of Ethics of the IFAC, which is applied not only as an amending rule, but also, complements Law 43 of 1990, and strengthens the procedure in investigations carried out for failures committed by those who exercise the profession and provide accounting services. That is why the main issuerefers to the regulatory bodies of the accounting systems, taking as reference the Central Board of Accountants, which is subsumed in the law already mentioned, and which regulates all the behavior of accountants regardless of the nature of the exercise of their profession. A palpable example in which it was possible to demonstrate this whole process of the application of Law 43 of 1990, the IFAC code in the investigation and sanctions, was the failures committed by the company Grant Thornton Fast & ABS auditors and consultants, as a firm contracted for the firm audit involved, which in the specific case was IinterBolsa.

Analysis of Non-compliance with the Regulations for the Prevention of Money Laundering in Banking Entities of Argentina

2023-12-27T15:39:48+00:00

The Argentine Law 25.246 on Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism designates, among others, financial institutions as obliged entities to report to the Financial Information Unit (UIF) facts or suspicious circumstances related to crime. These institutions play a fundamental role in the prevention of crime, as they are one of the most used vehicles by criminals. The objective of this study is to determine to what extent Argentine banks failed to comply with the obligations imposed by the applicable regulatory framework during the years 2018 to 2021, the causes of the violations sanctioned by the UIF, and whether there is a relationship between these failures and the origin of the capital of the institutions. An empirical study with a mixed approach, exploratory, descriptive, and correlational scope, was carried out. Through a documentary analysis of the rulings published by the UIF, it was determined that the main violations are related to the implementation of policies and procedures for risk management, documentation that supports the customer due diligence principle due to the possible inclusion of the customer in terrorist lists and/or politically exposed persons. On the other hand, no relationship was found between the violations committed and the origin of the capital.
