Complicit or negligent auditors:

  • Sign off on falsified financial statements, providing an appearance of legitimacy.
  • Overlook suspicious accrual adjustments or backdated entries, inhibiting timely detection of illicit activities.

Their involvement grants criminals a veneer of credibility that hinders financial institutions' AML controls.
