The Vatican is the only authority with the power to investigate the Vatican Bank and to the present time it has not undertaken any major probe into financial wrongdoings at the Bank. The Bank has been at the centre of allegations since its inception in 1942. Former Nazis using the Catholic Church's 'ratlines' to escape justice sometimes used the services of the Bank, both to facilitate their movements and to launder money.
From time to time, allegations are made regarding serious corruption at the Bank, but in the absence of Vatican cooperation, there is nothing that authorities in other countries can do to recover lost money or lay charges against bank personnel.
In what became known as the Ambrosiano Affair, it is alleged that Monsignor Emilio Colagiovanni, Monsignor Gianfranco Piovano and Bishop Francesco Salerno agreed to involve the Vatican Bank, and the Vatican more widely, in a fraud that was intended to skim over a billion dollars. This scheme involved a transferring money through a private shell company, the St. Francis of Assisi Foundation to Serve and Help the Poor, and then a legitimate Vatican organisation, the Monitor Ecclesiasticus Foundation, into accounts in the Vatican Bank. This deception was uncovered when only $200 million had been lost. Insurance Commissioners from the United States launched a law suit against the Roman Catholic Church in 2001, seeking more than $200 million in damages. The lawsuit was dropped after eleven years, as there was no prospect of success because of territorial immunity.
What became known as the Vatileaks scandal resulted from "whistleblower" leaks provided by the pope's personal butler, Paolo Gabriele. He was arrested and convicted in 2012 but subsequently pardoned by the pope. At the same time, investigations were conducted in secret into the truth behind the allegations. Vatican spokesman Father. Federico Lombardi, speaking on Vatican Radio on 23 February 2013, strongly criticised media coverage of the report that was produced. Then on February 28, 2013, in a surprise announcement, Pope Benedict resigned.
In July 2013, Pope Francis removed the Vatican Bank's director and deputy director as part of a drive to clean up allegations of corruption and money-laundering at the bank. In January 2014, the pope replaced four cardinals on the bank's supervisory board.
Management appointed by Pope Francis was shocked by what it found: thousands of unexplained accounts, habitually large cash transactions and the absence of safeguards against money laundering. At best the bank was a tax haven, at worst a shelter for the proceeds of criminal gangs. Since then some 4,800 illegitimate accounts have been closed, agreement reached on information sharing with Italian regulatory authorities and processes put in place to detect illicit transactions. So far there have been no confiscations, indictments or prosecutions, so no proof that the Church is serious about removing corruption within the Vatican..

Is the Vatican bank part of the Illuminati?
No, it is not part of the Illuminati. The Vatican Bank is the official bank of the Country called "The Vatican City." Just as every other sovereign country has a national bank to hold and manage its resources, so too, does the Vatican. Notions like this have been recently influenced by movies based on Dan Brown's Books and are as ludicrous as saying that the National Bank of England is run by group of jaded ex-nuns!
What problems resulted from the Vatican Bank?
A:The Vatican Bank is associated with financial corruption, so much so that one of the first actions Pope Francis took was to remove its long-serving director and deputy director, subsequently removing four of the five cardinals on its supervisory board. However, the evidence is that the Bank was not the source of corruption within the Vatican, but simply a convenient way of hiding that corruption. For corrupt clergy and their associates, the Vatican Bank solved problems; it did not create them.

Duties of a compliance bank officer?
Way too many for me to answer with my typing speed. A big one is administering the anti moneylaundering program which has to do with reporting suspicions of criminals using the banking system, maybe not reporting income or financing terrorism. But there are laws upon laws that have to be complied with by everyone in the bank and that officer is responsible for the planning, organizing, staffing, training, evaluating all these efforts.
