Mark Yeandle, Michael Mainelli, Adrian Berendt and Brian Healy, Z/Yen Limited.
Published by the Corporation of London and funded by the Corporation and the ICAEW’s charitable trust funds.
The report assesses the perceived costs and benefits of UK Anti-Money Laundering Requirements (AMLR) compared with other jurisdictions including the USA, Germany, France and Italy. It also examines how effective AMLR is and what impact the UK AMLR has on the competitive standing of the UK financial services industry.
Economic and Business Crime in an International Context
The law against money laundering aims at the detection and prevention of the underlying economic crime, as well as specific laundering activities. We have prepared a report on Economic and Business Crime in an International Context, a review of international law and practice in relation to crimes committed by or on behalf of business. This is part of our Market Foundations initiative.
