Money laundering is illegal is governed by Auditing Standards, which requires CPAs to be familiar with the types of illegal behaviors that could have direct and material impact on financial statements. The new fraud standard, requires independent auditors to assess the that fraud could materially misstate the financials. In this article CPAs will learn the basics of money laundering-what it is, how it is accomplished, ways to detect it and how thieves hide the money.
