New billing fraud scheme. Shadow schemes. The practice of applying 115-FZ.
Rosfinmonitoring has revealed a new billing fraud scheme.
Rosfinmonitoring and members of the Compliance Council learned about a new cash withdrawal scheme that allows them to avoid bank control. This is stated in the report of the department.
The new system was introduced in 2020. The fictitious companies transferred tax and customs payments for the organization of trade and food in exchange for transferred funds. "Shadow programs" concern really operating companies with a high cash turnover, the report says: large federal and regional retail chains, car dealerships, wholesale and retail markets.
The scheme was not widely adopted. In most cases, banks refused to provide services to participants in such programs, informing Rosfinmonitoring about it. In the first quarter of 2021, the number of these transactions decreased.
In February, Rosfinmonitoring announced that over the past year, banks have sent more than 18,000 COVID-tagged reports to regulators about suspicious medical purchases and contract transactions. Market participants recorded attempts to carry out such transactions for 34 billion rubles.
Nevertheless, the appearance of such news once again demonstrates both the problem in itself of the presence of various fraud schemes in the business sector, the desire to optimize certain types of payments by unscrupulous or near-scrupulous participants in the turnover, and the not entirely clear, transparent practice of applying 115-FZ by the banks themselves.
