52、lt;p><b>　　洗錢的背景</b></p><p>　　術(shù)語“洗錢”是源自于用舊衣物清洗業(yè)務來偽裝“洗錢”，進行有組織的犯罪。大量的資金實際上來自于勒索、賣淫、賭博、走私漏稅。洗錢過程有三個基本步驟。這些步驟可以達到一個聯(lián)合交易或在三個不同的交易。</p><p>　　·放置。在這一步驟中,大量的非法獲得的現(xiàn)金被安置到金融系統(tǒng),用于購買昂貴商品,

53、或者通過走私離開該國。他們的想法是把現(xiàn)金盡可能快成其他類型的資產(chǎn)和砰地躲過檢測。</p><p>　　·分層。這一步是進行非法資金隱藏。分層是通過創(chuàng)建復雜的金融交易審計線索和掩蓋真實的資金的所有權(quán)。圖1提供了在洗錢的過程中，一個概述的步驟。有些方法是通過電子資金劃撥、合法的商業(yè)投資、購買房地產(chǎn)，轉(zhuǎn)換成貨幣工具。電子資金劃撥通過離岸銀行和空殼公司使得黑錢合法化。因為每天處理很多電子資金劃撥，確定是否合法確

54、實很難。</p><p>　　·整合。最后一步,合并新的“黑錢”投入合法的商業(yè)運作。在這一點上,許多將來使用的資金將進一步隱藏其原有的來源。</p><p>　　3種常用的洗錢步驟用于整合“干凈”的錢.首先，洗錢者在其他國家建立私營企業(yè)并向這些企業(yè)注資。這些外國公司可以提供的貸款讓被洗白的錢回到原先的國家。其次，在進出口業(yè)務中制造假發(fā)票。進出口公司夸大出口貨物的價值，當發(fā)票支付時

55、，現(xiàn)金被轉(zhuǎn)移，包括被洗的錢，從一個公司到其他公司。發(fā)票使轉(zhuǎn)移資金看上去是合法的。最后, 洗錢者購入一個離岸銀行。非法所得資金存入新銀行，然后通過電子轉(zhuǎn)賬轉(zhuǎn)移到合法的銀行。圖示1概述了洗錢過程。</p><p><b>　　關(guān)于洗錢的問題</b></p><p>　　對大多數(shù)人來說,洗錢本身并不被認為是一個特別的滔天罪行。然而,洗錢為犯罪分子提供有效的資金。這些通過洗錢

56、提供的資金可以用于贊助無數(shù)的其他罪行。洗錢加強了毒販子、有組織的犯罪成員,恐怖分子,和其他人的野心。洗錢也質(zhì)疑了金融市場的完整性。當大量的金錢可以到達黑錢機構(gòu),他們也可能同樣迅速地消失,導致流動性問題。除此之外，由于洗錢，政府失去了收入。洗錢減少稅收，對于誠實的市民來說，這通常意味著更高的稅率。</p><p>　　約翰·麥克道爾和加里·羅維斯從經(jīng)濟角度提出，洗錢使全球面對著一個更加復雜的、動

57、態(tài)的挑戰(zhàn)。他們相信問題的本質(zhì)要求全球統(tǒng)一標準和國際合作來減少洗錢犯罪的收益和警惕他們的犯罪活動。</p><p><b>　　當前洗錢的本質(zhì)</b></p><p>　　在《毒蛇的巢穴》，琳達·戴維斯寫到，“金錢在光纜里尖叫，在一個出處已經(jīng)衰落的迷宮里進行電子轉(zhuǎn)移，或改變，或隱藏，或打散分成易于處理、在任何地方容易消失和再積累的小塊，并且消除其痕跡?！彼_

58、的抓住了當前洗錢問題的本質(zhì)。在如今高科技的全球環(huán)境下，洗錢過程追蹤比過去更難。</p><p>　　恩斯特和洋有限責任合伙的委托人艾爾文·詹姆斯近日考察了恐怖分子利用的地下金融系統(tǒng)，比如哥倫比亞黑市比索交易所。他指出,雖然恐怖分子可能不需要收回他們的錢,但他們確實需要秘密的方法來轉(zhuǎn)移資金。詹姆斯也指出地下財務系統(tǒng)（也稱為平行支付系統(tǒng)）之間主要的相似度----他們都可以使國際轉(zhuǎn)讓匿名資金變得簡單。由于可以

59、移動恐怖分子所需要的美元來支持他們的恐怖襲擊，這些已經(jīng)存在的系統(tǒng)對他們充滿了吸引力。專家表明，應該有更多的協(xié)調(diào)努力來防止地下金融市場以及其他的洗錢活動。</p><p><b>　　洗錢的范圍</b></p><p>　　包括恐怖分子的美元移動過的相同金融渠道的數(shù)量，很難精確地測量洗錢的范圍。某些人們和機構(gòu)從事這些活動,但是顯然不是報告給他們的政府。然而,他們大量努力

60、去建立這個問題的重要性。每年世界各地洗錢總金額估計已達5000億美元。</p><p>　　約翰·沃克咨詢服務在澳大利亞創(chuàng)造了一個合乎邏輯的犯罪的經(jīng)濟模式,利用公共犯罪統(tǒng)計數(shù)字和使用不同社會經(jīng)濟投入的比例進行估計,確定可以進行洗錢的國家。它們聚集這些統(tǒng)計和評估來計算洗錢的可能程度和每個國家貢獻。</p><p>　　初步數(shù)據(jù)模型估算每年洗錢的全球金額是2.85萬億美元。該模型將各

61、部件總成。它將洗錢來源和目的地排名。不幸的是,美國總是位居這兩個列表的榜首,據(jù)估算作為原產(chǎn)地的清洗為46.3%和洗錢的目為美元的比例是18.9%。雖然這是不精確模型(或證明),洗錢犯罪是一個大商業(yè)，這是美元爭議的事實。</p><p>　　哥倫比亞黑市比索交易所每年洗錢金額高達50億元，大約為美國整個藥品銷售收益的一半。比索交易所通常是針對《美國銀行保密法案》采取有效措施。交易所的經(jīng)紀人走私了大量和美國銀行有相對

62、應關(guān)系的國家的貨幣。通過這些貨幣在外國銀行換得一張在美國商行賬戶的美元支票。外國銀行接受貨幣存款然后通過電子轉(zhuǎn)賬的方式匯給其存款人的指定人。外資銀行也將面對存入代理銀行的大量美國貨幣。艾爾文·詹姆斯指出，“這反式作用影響是使我們回到手提箱存款式的美國，毒品貨幣進入我們的金融體系。唯一的區(qū)別是使用相應美元的比索經(jīng)紀人可以走后門而不是在跑到邁阿密或者紐約交易所的大廳。再一次，這表明《美國商業(yè)法案》迫使比索經(jīng)紀人將美元資金投向海外，

63、而不是作為存款留在美國。”</p><p>　　最近的恐怖主義活動迫使我們更有必要阻止通過這些渠道流通的美元。美國軍方回應9.11事件時宣稱會加大政府權(quán)力來調(diào)查恐怖主義及其被資助方式，包括洗錢。</p><p>　　為反洗錢所作出的努力</p><p>　　有效的打擊洗錢犯罪，就必須有一個公平的環(huán)境和公開的報告。法律部門、政客和公眾都必須支持。國際會計師聯(lián)合會,致力

64、于營造這樣的環(huán)境,鼓勵其會員團體,與立法和監(jiān)管部門,兩公司與政治上的形成合作關(guān)系。</p><p>　　國內(nèi)及國際上多個群體致力于解決洗錢這一問題。但是美國有著最艱難的法律來打擊洗錢犯罪，其中包括：</p><p>　　·反藥品濫用法案 1988</p><p>　　·控制犯罪法案 1990</p><p>

66、t;　　世界銀行發(fā)現(xiàn)各國努力試圖打擊洗錢，通過國際協(xié)議，建立了金融行動特別工作組。世界銀行促進貨幣停止或者緩慢的向新興市場流通。有關(guān)國際協(xié)議包括《維也納公約》,1990年歐洲議會會議,巴塞爾銀行監(jiān)管委員會聲明原則,歐盟指令,國際證監(jiān)會組織。金融行動特別工作組是由26個國家代表和兩個國際組織組成。</p><p>　　會計和內(nèi)審員所面對的挑戰(zhàn)</p><p>　　會計和內(nèi)部審計人員在打擊洗錢
