The book features an introduction to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CTF), case studies and approaches to implementing an effective AML/CTF program. The book serves as a guide for those starting out in the AML/CTF world and/or for professionals seeking to read an overview of the AML/CTF ecosystem.
In his book, Subramanian provides a basic introduction to money laundering and its impact, and a global perspective to AML/CTF. Also, the author provides in-depth case studies based off of reports from Egmont, FinCEN and FINTRAC. Each case study provides insight on the method, mechanism and techniques/instruments used for ML/TF and they are each followed by material recommendations and guidelines to read in order to apply preventive controls.
