摘要

本研究旨在调查货运代理公司在侦查和报告基于贸易的洗钱活动中的作用。货运代理公司接近与航运有关的贸易洗钱红旗,这使它们处于侦查可疑交易的理想位置。本研究采用半结构式访谈的方式,采访了货运代理航运和货运代理合规方面的专家参与者。研究结果货运代理公司完全有能力发现、调查和报告基于贸易的洗钱计划。然而,这些公司并不总是了解旨在协助识别基于贸易的洗钱计划的指导方针。因此,货运代理公司制定了内部程序来识别贸易异常情况,但往往无法将贸易异常情况与非法资金流动和基于贸易的洗钱计划联系起来。研究局限性/影响各监管机构可将现行的洗钱法规扩展至货运代理公司,以加强反洗钱保护。社会影响本文有助于贸易过程中的其他参与者和政策制定者更好地认识基于贸易的洗钱活动。货运代理公司在遵守反洗钱法规方面的义务有限,这导致了更多自愿遵守法规的做法。独创性/价值据作者所知,这是第一篇深入探讨南非货运代理公司在侦查贸易洗钱活动中的作用的论文。

The role of freight forwarding companies in detecting and investigating trade-based money laundering

Purpose

This study aims to investigate the role of freight forwarding companies in detecting and reporting trade-based money laundering. The proximity of freight forwarding companies to shipping-related trade-based money laundering red flags places them in an ideal position to detect suspicious transactions.

Design/methodology/approach

The study used semi-structured interviews with expert participants in freight forwarding shipping and compliance aspects around freight forwarding. This study focuses on the South African context.

Findings

Freight forwarding companies are well-positioned to detect, investigate and report on trade-based money laundering schemes. However, the companies are not always aware of the guidelines designed to assist in identifying trade-based money laundering schemes. Thus, freight forwarding companies develop internal processes to identify trade anomalies but are often unable to link trade anomalies to illegal financial flows and trade-based money laundering schemes.

Research limitations/implications

The current regulations on money laundering can be extended to freight forwarding companies by the respective regulators for enhanced anti-money laundering protection. This study is limited to freight forwarding companies in a South African context.

Practical implications

Increased awareness among staff in freight forwarding companies can assist them in identifying trade-based money laundering red flags to detect and prevent trade-based money laundering schemes.

Social implications

This paper assists other role players and policymakers in the trade process to create a better awareness of trade-based money laundering. The limited obligations on freight forwarding companies to comply with anti-money laundering regulations lead to a more volunteer-like compliance practice.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first paper that offers insight into the role of freight forwarding companies in detecting trade-based money laundering in South Africa.
