    F. Layering
    Explanation
    The stages of money laundering are placement, integration, and layering. Placement refers to the process of introducing illegally obtained funds into the financial system. Integration involves merging the illicit funds with legitimate assets to make them appear legal. Layering is the complex process of disguising the source of funds through multiple transactions and transfers, making it difficult to trace the original source of the money. This sequence of stages allows criminals to effectively launder their illicit proceeds and make them appear legitimate.

    Layering is the correct answer because it refers to the stage of money laundering where illicit funds are separated from their original source.

The purpose of layering is to make the money appear as if it is part of a legitimate financial transaction, thus making it difficult to trace back to its illegal origins.

    Explanation
    If the company fails to implement counteractive measures in preventing AML, there are several potential risks that can occur. Firstly, there may be a loss of revenue as the company could face fines and penalties for non-compliance with AML regulations. Additionally, the company may attract the wrong kind of business, such as money launderers, which can damage its reputation and credibility. Furthermore, there is a risk of having the license to operate revoked by regulatory authorities if the company does not take appropriate measures to prevent AML. Lastly, the directors of the company may be fined individually for their failure to implement necessary measures. Therefore, all of the above risks are potential consequences of not implementing counteractive measures for AML prevention.
