Banker verksamma i Sverige och deras roll i att förhindra penningtvätt : - Incitament, möjligheter och utmaningar i ett alltmer digitaliserat samhälle / Banks operating in Sweden and their role in preventing Money Laundering : - Incentives, opportunities and challenges in an increasingly digital society

Berglund, Simon, Gustafsson, Johanna-Louise January 2022 (has links)
Penningtvätt är idag ett samhällsproblem som hotar att förstöra förtroendet för det finansiella systemet och berörda institutioner. Bankerna kan idag betraktas ha ett viktigt ansvar i att förhindra penningtvätt, men trots ansvaret har olika banker i Sverige under de senaste åren fått negativ uppmärksamhet i media och blivit dömda till olika sanktioner. Parallellt med regelverket och den ökade digitaliseringen, värnar bankerna om sina kundrelationer på den konkurrensutsatta marknad där de är verksamma. Det går även att diskutera hur bankernas roll att bekämpa penningtvätt förhåller sig till att de som privata aktörer även har intresse i att bedriva vinstdrivande affärsverksamhet.  Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur banker verksamma i Sverige ser på sin dubbla roll i att bedriva vinstdrivande affärsverksamhet och samtidigt bära ett stort ansvar för att förhindra penningtvätt, vilket kan beskrivas som resurskrävande brottsbekämpning. Vidare är syftet att analysera vad bankernas roll skapar för incitament, möjligheter och utmaningar för banker att förhindra penningtvätt. För att uppnå syftet har bankernas relation gentemot kunder, myndigheter och konkurrenter legat till grund för studiens analysmodell, som har använts för att analysera det insamlade materialet. Studien har genomförts med hjälp av en kvalitativ metod, där semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med experter som dagligen arbetar med penningtvättsfrågor inom banker verksamma i Sverige.  Resultatet i denna studie tyder på att bankerna idag tar sin roll som penningtvättsbekämpare på större allvar, där mer resurser läggs på området än för bara några år sedan. Den ryktesrisk som bankerna idag behöver hantera, samtidigt som de är verksamma på en konkurrensutsatt marknad, har visat sig vara en viktig faktor i hur bankerna ser på sin roll. Trots att resultatet visar på förbättringar, har banker en utmaning i att hänga med i digitaliseringens utveckling, något som hittills mer gynnat de som tvättar pengar än bankerna. En möjlighet som resultatet visar är att bankerna efterfrågar utökat samarbete mellan banker och myndigheter, något som i framtiden kan leda till ett mer effektivt arbete mot penningtvätt. / Money laundering is today a societal problem that threatens to destroy the trust in the financial system and the institutions concerned. Banks can today be considered to have an important responsibility in preventing money laundering. Despite the responsibility, various banks in Sweden have in recent years received negative media attention and been penalized with various sanctions. In parallel with the regulations and the increased digitalization, the banks want to keep their customer relations at the competitive market in which they operate. It is also possible to discuss how banks’ role in preventing money laundering relates to the fact that they, as private actors, also have an interest in making profit as private actors.  The aim of the study is to investigate how banks operating in Sweden view their dual role in making for-profit business operations and at the same time having a big responsibility for preventing money laundering, which can be described as resource-intensive law enforcement. Furthermore, the aim is to analyze what banks’ role creates for incentives, opportunities and challenges for banks to prevent money laundering. To achieve the aim of the study, the banks relationship to customers, authorities and competitors have formed the basis of the analysis model, which has been used to analyze the result from the interviews that have been made. The study was conducted using a qualitative method, where semi-structured interviews were conducted with experts who work at a daily basis with money laundering questions within banks operating in Sweden.  The results of this study indicate that banks today take their role in combating money laundering more seriously, where more resources are invested in the area comparing with just a few years earlier. The reputation risk that the banks today need to deal with, at the same time as they operate in a competitive market, has proved to be an important factor in how banks view their role. Although the results show improvements, banks have a challenge in keeping up with the digitalization and its development, something that so far have benefited money launderers more than the banks. A possibility that the result shows is that the banks request increased cooperation between banks and authorities, something that in the future may lead to a more efficient work against money laundering.

Stand Your Ground Law: How Can a UCF Student's Fear of Crime Affect Their Opinion of the Law and What Variables Affect the Student's Level of Fear of Crime?

Duckworth, Kelly 01 August 2014 (has links)
A person's level of fear of crime or even their perceived fear of crime can affect how they view the Stand Your Ground Law and whether it is seen as beneficial or harmful to the general public. I begin with a discussion of the Stand Your Ground Law. Next, I report on research that examines the fear of crime and how it may shape opinions on the law as well as an individual’s level of fear. My research explores the relationship of these variables using survey data. I examine the attitudes of college students regarding their fear of crime to explore variables that impact their levels of fear and their opinions regarding the Stand Your Ground Law.

”Desire followed by its instant antidote — fear.” : En fenomenologisk studie av begär och skam i Call Me by Your Name av André Aciman och Swimming in the dark av Tomasz Jedrowski

Randeblad, Joel January 2023 (has links)
This essay analyses Call Me by Your Name by André Aciman and Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski through a phenomenological lens. Through the theoretical framework, mainly consisting of Sara Ahmed’s The Cultural Politics of Emotion and Queer Phenomenology, I discuss how feelings such as desire and shame work through the subject and influence its relationship with their surroundings. The analysis concludes that the emotion of shame is an isolating feeling, causing the subject to shield themselves from their surroundings. At the same time shame is forgotten in its own temporality, whereas the emotion itself is mistaken as permanent by the subject in the feeling state. On the other hand, the forbidden desire feels temporary and like something that could be expelled from the body. Furthermore, I discuss how desire affects the relationship between subject and object, especially through the ways that desire complicates the hierarchal division between the two. I further posit how desire affects boundaries between bodies and how the forbidden desire creates the will to penetrate boundaries while at the same time maintaining them. Through the combination of shame and desire the subject is limited in their worldview, where the desire can feel impossible to navigate through the “life-lines” that Ahmed theorizes because of the shame that follows. The essay concludes that the relationship between shame and desire affects the relationship between subject and object mainly through the internalization of societal norms.

Revisorns roll i att förebygga ekonomisk brottslighet. :  - En kvalitativ studie utifrån revisorernas perspektiv.

Almasri, Ahmad, Alkwamla, Mohammad January 2024 (has links)
Syfte: Denna studie undersöker revisorernas roll i att förebygga ekonomisk brottslighet för att öka kunskap och medvetenhet om arbetsuppgifterna och effektiviteten hos revisorer i ett brottsförebyggande syfte. Metod: Studien utgår från en abduktiv forskningsansats med kvalitativ forskningsmetod som används för att få in olika perspektiv med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer från olika intressenter. Studien samlade in primärdata från tre auktoriserade revisorer, en förundersökningsledare från finanspolisen och en ekobrotts revisor från Ekobrottsmyndigheten (EBM).  Slutsats: I slutsatsen framkommer att revisorer spelar en kritisk men komplex roll i brottsförebyggande arbete, som inte alltid är i linje med intressenternas förväntningar. Att stärka revisorernas funktioner och förtydliga lagkraven och etiska normer kan överbrygga förväntningsgapet. Dessutom skulle ett förbättrat samarbete mellan myndigheter och kontinuerlig utbildning av revisorer i nya trender inom ekonomisk brottslighet kunna förbättra revisorernas effektivitet när det gäller att förebygga ekonomisk brottslighet. / Purpose: This study examines the role of auditors in preventing financial crime in order to increase knowledge and awareness of the duties and effectiveness of auditors in crime prevention, to understand the ongoing conflict surrounding the role of the audit industry in these efforts. Method: The study is based on a deductive research approach with a qualitative research approach used to collect in-depth perspectives through semi-structured interviews with respondents from various actors. The study collected primary data from three chartered auditors, a financial police investigator and an economics crime auditor from the Economic Crime Authority (EBM). Conclusion: The conclusion shows that auditors play a critical but complex role in crime prevention work, which is not always in line with actors' expectations. Strengthening auditors' functions and clarifying legal requirements and ethical standards can bridge the expectation gap. In addition, improved cooperation between agencies and continuous training of auditors in new trends in financial crime could improve auditors' effectiveness in preventing financial crime.

(Stop) beating around the bush: Exposing the factors behind ineffective antimoney laundering measures

Nyberg, Patricia, Porobic, Anando January 2024 (has links)
The illicit practice of money laundering (ML) poses global challenges, causing harmful repercussions for society. Legislators worldwide have placed financial institutions at the forefront of initiatives aimed at preventing ML. Even with the adoption of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) measures, financial institutions continue to face challenges in combating illicit financial activity. Prior investigations primarily concentrated on evaluating the regulatory framework itself, leaving gaps in understanding other aspects causing ineffective AML efforts. Going further in-depth, this study aims to explore how institutional pressure leads to ineffective ML prevention within Finnish financial institutions. To address these challenges, the institutional theory and several concepts supported the exploration of the institutional environment, with due consideration given to social constructs. Furthermore, a qualitative approach is employed due to the exploratory nature of this study. It consists of the analysis of both classified and public official documents from the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority (FIN-FSA), interviews held with representatives actively involved in financial institutions' AML efforts, and other official AML guidelines. The findings of this study acknowledge the suboptimal regulatory pressure and reveal instances of data deficiencies. However, the social context emerged as the most influential factor, highlighting the gap between AML efforts and ML activities.

Актуальность темы – обеспечение эффективного инвестирования средств с свою деятельность, поскольку сейчас коммерческие банки наращивают свое влияние и активно участвуют в социально-экономическом развитии страны. Конкуренция в банковском секторе постоянно растет, что заставляет банки расширять спектр оказываемых услуг, непрерывно работая над улучшением качества оказания услуг. Кредитные учреждения используют свои собственные средства для инвестиций в различные проекты, вложений в ценные бумаги, в собственное развитие. Все вышеперечисленное обуславливает актуальность выбранной темы. Целью магистерской диссертации является анализ и оценка особенностей инвестиционной деятельности коммерческих банков в собственную деятельность.

Competition in the banking sector is constantly growing, which forces banks to expand the range of services provided, continuously working to improve the quality of services. Credit institutions use their own funds to invest in various projects, investments in securities, and in their own development. All of the above determines the relevance of the chosen topic. The purpose of the master's thesis is to analyze and evaluate the features of commercial banks' investment activities in their own activities. In accordance with the purpose of the work, the following tasks were set and consistently solved: to identify the main types of investment activities of commercial banks; to investigate the key features of investments in their own activities; to analyze and evaluate investments in the introduction of a new commercial bank product; to identify problems of implementation in the banking sector; to develop a technologically and economically advantageous solution for the integration of a new product in order to improve the operational efficiency of banking activities; to evaluate the economic efficiency of the proposed solution.

Ekon av det förflutna : En undersökning av den antika erotikens roll och tematisering i romanen och filmen Call Me by Your Name / Echoes of the Past : A Study of the Role and Thematization of Ancient Greek Eros in the Novel and Film Call Me by Your Name

Hall, Nina January 2019 (has links)
I den här uppsatsen utforskas André Acimans roman Call Me by Your Name (2007) och regissören Luca Guadagninos filmatisering av verket (2017) i relation till det antika begreppet eros (ung. begär). Det finns sedan tidigare en konstnärlig tradition i västvärlden att tillämpa antik tematik vid gestaltningen av manligt samkönat begär och för att åskådliggöra hur detta sker även i Acimans och Guadagninos respektive verk används i den här uppsatsen Platons Gästabudet (Symposion, ca 385 f. Kr) som en återkommande utgångspunkt i analysen. Utifrån ett urval tematiska inslag i Gästabudet, som alla anknyter till Platons övergripande behandling av begär ur ett filosofiskt perspektiv, riktas i det här arbetet uppmärksamheten mot hur dessa teman även förekommer i Call Me by Your Name, roman som film. Detta gäller inte minst Platons presenterade tanke att eros, under rätt omständigheter, har förmågan att leda filosofen mot upplysthet och förståelsen av en upphöjd och evig ordning. Utöver att visa på hur båda verken (som utspelar sig i relativt modern tid) genomsyras av denna antika begärstematik är ett annat mål med uppsatsen att genom en komparativ analys, och med ett genusvetenskapligt och queerteoretiskt perspektiv, blottlägga hur skillnaderna mellan romanförlagan och filmadaptionen påverkar bilden av den unge huvudpersonen Elio och dennes utforskande av sin sexualitet – även då bilden av sexualitet i en mer generell mening. Slutsatsen som den här uppsatsen leder fram till är att Acimans förlaga vid en första anblick framstår som mer utmanande i förhållande till en modern heteronormativ ordning (så som åskådliggjord av Judith Butlers heteronormativa matris) medan Guadagninos version – trots skildringen av samkönat begär i berättelsens centrum – innefattar mer konservativa indikationer. Samtidigt är de utmanande aspekterna i Acimans roman inte heller helt oproblematiska vid en andra anblick. I den mån Acimans skildring med hjälp av den antika tematiken gör motstånd mot moderna uppfattningar om sexualitet, begär och relationsformer leder nyttjandet parallellt till att andra diskriminerande och begränsande uppfattningar om kön, genusidentitet och könsmaktsordning snarare bekräftas inom berättelsens ramar mer än vad de utmanas.

Factors Affecting the Adoption of Bring Your Own Device by Teachers in Caymanian Public High Schools

Lawrence, Cleyo Lutice 01 January 2018 (has links)
At public high schools in Cayman, teachers need to improve their productivity and efficiency by using technologies that are simple and portable like their personal devices. Studies about bring your own device (BYOD) initiatives have revealed conflicting outcomes, and are lacking in the Caribbean and especially in Cayman. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine the main factors related to teachers' willingness to adopt BYOD in public high schools in Cayman. The theoretical framework was the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). This study employed a cross-sectional survey design using a modified UTAUT instrument, which captured quantitative data from 82 participants. The use of hierarchical multiple regression to analyze the data revealed that teachers' BYOD adoption could expand by increasing facilitating conditions, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and decreasing perceived risk. This study reduces the gap in the literature about the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology and BYOD in the Caribbean and the Cayman Islands. It also provides evidence that perceived risk can increase its explanatory power of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology. The study also contributes to a positive social change by revealing critical issues that administrators should address when devising BYOD policies and planning educational technology integration.
