Identifying the Financial Footprints of Human Trafficking

Financial Crime Matters

'Everybody has something they can do to begin to address [human trafficking] in their day-to-day business.' Dr. James Cockayne is Head of Secretariat of Finance Against Slavery and Trafficking (FAST), a year-old United Nations initiative enlisting financial institutions in the fight against human trafficking. In this episode, James talks with Kieran about how financial institutions can help track and interdict the proceeds of human trafficking, shun investment in businesses that profit from trafficking, and help the victims of modern slavery re-enter the global financial system. FAST has partnered with ACAMS to provide the anti-human trafficking training and certification program “Fighting Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking.” For more about FAST and the free ACAMS training go here https://www.fastinitiative.org and here https://www.acams.org/en/training/certificates/fighting-modern-slavery-and-human-trafficking.
