"The book starts with an examination of fundamental terms and processes before going on to look at the international framework of legal and regulatory standards which has been developed over several decades and the necessary activities and organisation of an AML CFT Compliance function and its positioning within the wider framework of the organisation. The book then gives a detailed play-by-play of how to design and implement a risk-based Customer Due Diligence and Know Your Customer programme and goes on to look at Reputational Risk, Suspicion Recognition and International Cooperation. The book concludes with two case studies which can be used for in-house staff training, covering key issues such as political exposure and corruption risk in clients and customers, complex ownership structures, hidden beneficial ownership and methods of circumventing international risk-based controls"--
