Financial Compliance

Definition

Financial compliance involves adhering to laws, regulations, and ethical standards governing financial activities. In the digital asset sector, this encompasses a range of requirements, including anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CTF), know-your-customer (KYC) procedures, and sanctions screening. Entities operating with cryptocurrencies must implement robust internal controls and reporting mechanisms to prevent illicit financial activities. Failure to comply can result in severe penalties and reputational damage.
