This Second Edition of the Reference Guide is intended to serve as a single, comprehensive source of information for countries that wish to establish or improve their legal and institutional frameworks for anti-money laundering (AML) and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT). These issues have become increasingly important in a global economy where funds can be easily and immediately transferred from one financial institution to another, including transfers to institutions in different countries. The international community is relying upon all countries to establish effective AML/CFT regimes that are capable of successfully preventing, detecting and prosecuting money laundering and terrorist financing in order to fight the devastating economic and social consequences of these criminal activities.
The publication is available in different languages.
