Conducted by the Bank of Russia with creditorganization to improve anti-legalization procedures did not lead to proper adjustment of the activities of Expert Bank. Organization of internal control in the bank is recognized as ineffective.

Information about the bank’s dubious operations was forwarded by the Bank of Russia to law enforcement agencies.
