Secured digital contracts
enabled by biometrics
Digital contracts are well suited to facilitate the re-engineering of business processes occurring at many firms involving a composite of technologies and business strategies that aids the instant exchange of information. The digital contracts have their own merits and demerits. On one hand they reduce cost, saves time, fasten customer response and improve service quality by reducing paper work, thus increasing automation. On the other hand, since in electronic contract, the proposal focuses not on humans who make decisions on specific transactions, but how risk should be structured in an automated environment. Therefore the object is to create default rules for attributing a message to a party so as to avoid any fraud and discrepancy in the contract.

Anti-money laundering FAQ’s
"What Is Anti-money Laundering In Simple Terms?"
Anti-money laundering (AML) refers to a collection of policies, rules, and regulations aimed at preventing the illicit generation of profits. Financial institutions are required to comply with AML initiatives under laws such as the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) of 1970 and the more recent USA Patriot Act.
Anti-money laundering laws can only apply to a small number of transactions and illegal activities, but their consequences are far-reaching. AML targets a wide range of activities, from corruption and tax evasion to manipulating the market and trading with illicit goods, as well as hiding any of these. Since the majority of criminals and terrorists rely heavily on a cash flow of laundered money for their illegal activities, having the appropriate AML checks in place has broader crime-reducing implications."What Are The Anti-money Laundering Regulations?"

Under the AML regulation laws, all businesses, and financial institutions, in particular, are obligated to do everything in their power to identify money laundering tactics and report them.
In addition to running a series of Anti-Money Laundering checks when they first take on a client, companies should also proactively monitor the behaviour of their customers so they can detect any suspicious activity in due time. The due diligence required from businesses includes many AML checks, ranging from simple Know Your Customer (KYC) checks and Identity Verification, to standard Electoral and Mortality Register ID checks, and even enhanced PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) and Sanctions searches. AML checks are crucial for some industries, including housing, law, and accountancy to name just a few. New laws are impacting these industries with hard fines handed out for those who don’t comply with the rules and regulations.What Is The History Of Anti-money Laundering?"
AML laws became prominent in 1989, when a group of countries and organizations around the world formed the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Its mission is to devise international standards to prevent money laundering and to promote the implementation of those standards.
In 1990, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) was established by the US Department of Treasury “to safeguard the financial system from illicit use, combat money laundering and promote national security.” In October 2001, shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the United States, FATF expanded its mandate to include efforts to combat terrorist financing through the passage of the USA Patriot Act.Start your journey to digital transformation now
