At the same time, the increasing integration of global financial systems and removing the barriers placed in the front of free capitals movement, facilitated ease with which black money can be washed and complicates money tracking circuit (be materialized in their, or as scriptural money). To earn money by fraud has, invariably, a transient nature. They ruin the reputation and it discourages honest investor. Financial institutions involved in money laundering scandal will risk prosecution in court and loss of goodwill on the market.

Thus, the insurance market as a whole plays a special role in the national system of the money laundering preventing and combating and the increase in the volume of transactions grows the risk degree of money laundering and combating terrorism.
