FAAFM, Ch.FE, ACCPA, MBA, BSc, HND h.k.annor@gmail.com Abstract A deregulated financial sector is free to accumulate and allocate funds from anywhere irrespective of the nature, form, intent and source. Without regulatory oversight, this poses zero risk to banks and nonbanks no matter how they finance the capital structure. In the real world, banking is an outcome of interactions between the regulator and the regulated. Regulatory consequences apply for failure to comply with the acceptable standards of best practices of banking regulation which include fines, sanctions, jail terms and revocation of the banking license for willful or non-willful noncompliance. The physical disposal of proceeds of funds’ from crime with aim of separating same, through creation of layers to disguise trails of the source and make it seem legitimate undermines the integrity of the financial system. It is required of the banking sector to build a comprehensive framework that identifies, assesses, monitors, mitigates and reports perceptions of suspicious activities of money launderers under the discipline of the regulator to avoid being sanction for the related offences. This paper reviews theory to link practice towards money laundering risk assessment of banking customers to maintain the integrity of the financial sector...

...Conventional Banks: A Differential Analysis Salman Ahmed Shaikh* Dr. Amanat Ali Jalbani Abstract Islamic banking is interest-free banking which makes it necessary for Islamic banks to take active part in the operations of the business, i.e. share profits as well as losses.

The usual credit assessment procedures and BASEL are not discussed. This paper looks at the comparative performance of Islamic banks and conventional banks by using ROE as the benchmark.
