Combating Money Laundering

Globally, money launderers and terrorist financiers exploit loopholes and differences among national AML/CFT systems and move their funds through jurisdictions with weak or ineffective legal and institutional frameworks. Therefore, the fight against money laundering and financing terrorism must be made a priority of corporate, statutory and political governance. Key among the goals of this effort should be the protection of integrity and stability of the international financial systems, by cutting off the resources available to terrorists and money launderers; thereby making it very difficult for those engaged in such business to profit from their criminal activities. The book presents a passionate plead to our international development partners (IMF, World Bank, AFDB, etc.) and identified three main areas of professional work in connection with AML/CFT; those will include but will not be limited to the following: Assessments, Technical Assistance and Policy Development.
