Money Laundering Compliance: : Tim Bennett: Bloomsbury Professional

Money Laundering Compliance

Description

What is Money Laundering ('ML')? How has the definition of ML expanded in recent years? Where does AML law and regulation come from? When must I report any 'suspicion'?

Money Laundering Compliance is designed as a detailed reference source both on legal and technical details, as well as practical and procedural points. It provides a technical and practical overview of AML/CFT provisions in the UK and other key international jurisdictions including:

- Bahamas
- Bermuda
- Cayman Islands
- Guernsey
- Isle of Man
- Jersey
- Singapore
- Switzerland
- United States

The Fourth Edition has been completely revised in line with recent legislation and case law, with other key areas of change including:

- The impact of Brexit on the UK's position vis-a-vis EU Law, and in particular in relation to the EU Money Laundering Directives covering AML/CFT matters

- 'Economic Substance' requirements in key jurisdictions

- A new chapter on FinTech, the host of AML/CFT RegTech websites/Mobile Apps, and the introduction of new methods of CDD verification

- A new chapter on crypto assets and regulation

- Current sanctions against defined Russian Oligarchs

- The general prohibition against the provision of trust and company services to certain 'Russian-connected' trusts

This essential resource ensures that finance professionals, private bankers, lawyers, trust and estate practitioners, regulators, compliance officers and other advisers remain up to date with this increasingly complex and crucial area of law.

Review of 3rd Edition, Journal of International Banking Law and Regulation
The book under reference is a 'must' for anyone who wishes to obtain a simplified overview of a complex field as well as to busy lawyers and financial services practitioners who wish to make a detailed study using the appendices to supplement the text. It is an important introductory text and an invaluable source-book that enables one to master the subject-matter without making too much of an effort trying to understand the terminology and locate source materials scattered in various places.
