Money laundering
3y ago#1I think all could be used.
1 Fairly obvious. Determine that the money has come from legitimate sources.
2 Introducing laundered cash into the reported revenue of an otherwise legitimate business is a classic money laundering technique, but this often inflates the GP margin.
3 Lots of cash moving around for no good reason is a sign of money laundering, often used to obscure the sources and destinations of the money.
4 Money laundering usually involves ending money somewhere where it is difficult to trace so unexplained payments need ro be investigated.
