Abstract: Integrity related practices are assuming great significance in the corporate governance of any financial institution today. This case looks at the Anti-money laundering (AML) practices at Bank Sohar, Sultanate of Oman. After a brief description of the company, the policy related to AML at Bank Sohar is described followed by the discussion of the process for embedding the policy within the organization. The mechanism for identifying and reporting the issues pertaining to the practice within the organization is explored and the mechanism for enforcing the practice is studied. Findings of the study suggest that the entire organization has to work together in order to create fool-proof policies leading to better acceptance and implementation. The practices follow the recommendations of Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) and other international studies in an effort to keep Bank Sohar free from any AML concerned potential threats
