FUNDS FLOW [11 records]

  • Finance
  • Offences and crimes
CONT

The term "illicit financial flows" is very vague, but it generally refers to a set of methods and practices aimed at transferring financial capital out of a country in contravention of national or international laws. In practice, an "illicit financial flow" ranges from something as simple as a private individual transferring funds into his/her account abroad without having paid taxes on the funds, to highly complex money laundering schemes involving criminal networks setting up multi-layered multijurisdictional structures to hide ownership and transfer stolen funds.

CONT

L’expression «flux financiers illicites» est très vague, mais désigne généralement un ensemble de méthodes et pratiques visant à transférer un capital financier hors d’un pays, en violation du droit national ou international. En pratique «un flux financier illicite» peut aller d’un simple virement effectué par un particulier sur son compte à l’étranger sans acquitter d’impôt sur les fonds à des systèmes très compliqués de blanchiment de capitaux reposant sur le recours à des réseaux criminels et sur l’utilisation de structures à plusieurs couches dans diverses juridictions (de manière à cacher l’identité du véritable propriétaire et à transférer des fonds volés).

The South African mining industry generally uses the appropriation method of accounting, which closely resembles cash flow accounting. It is based on the premise that mines have a finite life... The principle is adopted that members’ funds are invested in a wasting asset and the cost of mining assets over and above the initial capital is provided out of profits earned... This method is the generally accepted standard for the deep level gold mining industry in South Africa and is used for statutory and regulatory compliance.
