The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that risks to banks from anti-money-laundering issues have risen in prominence for Canada's banking regulator as it gains a deeper understanding of the weak spots in the banks' defences. The Globe's James Bradshaw writes that in January, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) rolled out a new guideline on risks to banks' integrity and security, and since then it has started to engage directly with senior leaders about how to safeguard institutions against those risks. As OSFI held those discussions with banks, "anti-money-laundering issues have risen in prominence. ... In the last year, to be clear, the incidence of anti-money-laundering issues has caused us to elevate that risk," said superintendent Peter Routledge, speaking with reporters at the Global Risk Institute's annual conference in Toronto on Wednesday. "And it's not a single event. There have been a bunch of events that have caused us to think about that." For more than a year, TD Bank has seen the most damage from money laundering. Mr. Routledge's comments signal that while TD's issues have been especially prominent, it is not the only bank struggling with criminal groups.
