Reseña del libro "Deterring and Detecting Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing: A Comparative Analysis of Anti-Money Laundering and Counterterrorism Financing Strat (en Inglés)"
In this edition, eight new topics were added to the already-existing chapters. They are "Assessing Risks and Applying a Risk-Based Approach" (chapter 2), "Terrorist Financing Offence" (chapter 5), "Private Banking" (chapter 7), "Prepaid Cards" (chapter 8), "Modern Slavery" (chapter 11), "Fraud" (chapter 13), "Tax Evasion" (chapter 14), and "Confiscation and Provisional Measures" (chapter 15).This edition uses a mix of different methodologies as opposed to focusing on just one methodology. In addition to the comparative methodology, this edition adopts the case-study methodology. This methodology was not used in the First Edition. The case-study methodology ensures that readers: i. remain familiar with the concepts of money laundering and terrorist financing;ii. are aware of the threat money laundering and terrorist financing poses to you as a banker or practitioner;iii. maintain a proportionate and risk-level based approach to those threats;iv. adopt the anti-money laundering/counter-terrorist financing procedures appropriate to that level of risk; andv. review and maintain those procedures regularly.This book provides guidance on the following: - money laundering process, regulation of diamond dealers and other designated nonfinancial businesses and professions, as well as regulation of hawala and other alternative remittance systems, international bodies and national government agencies charged with fighting money laundering and terrorist financing (Chapter 1);- country-level and reporting entity-level risk assessments, and the measures to prevent the misuse of non-profit organisations and third-party payment processors (Chapter 2);- suspicious activity reports, currency transaction reports, further information orders, disclosure orders and information sharing within the financial sector (Chapter 3);- money laundering offence, penalties and lifetime management of ancillary orders (Chapter 4);- terrorist financing, jurisdiction, penalties and policies and procedures involved in the seizure/forfeiture of terrorist property (Chapter 5);- current measures to reduce the money laundering risks associated with politically exposed persons (Chapter 6);- innovative methods to reduce the money laundering risks associated with private banking accounts (Chapter 7);- strategic measures that meet the goal of financial inclusion (that is, preserving innovation and the many legitimate uses and societal benefits offered by prepaid cards) without compromising the measures that exist for combating money laundering, terrorist financing and other illicit transactions through the financial system (Chapter 8);- calculated processes to prevent the smuggling of the proceeds of crime overseas for the purpose of avoiding the reach of law enforcement agencies (Chapter 9);- complete understanding of the role and responsibilities of the compliance officer (Chapter 10);- timely procedures for combating predicate offences for money laundering-e.g. modern slavery (Chapter 11), the offence of bribery (Chapter 12), fraud (Chapter 13) and tax evasion (Chapter 14);- authorized measures for freezing or seizing property laundered or proceeds from instrumentalities used in, or intended for use in, money laundering or predicate offences (Chapter 15 and Chapter 16);- conscientious assistance that helps firms gain confidence that their customer due diligence obligations have been properly carried out (Chapter 17);- institutional record keeping maintenance (Chapter 18).
