Since June 2004, the law and regulation of money laundering in the UK have seen a number of significant developments.

Prevention of money laundering is now a board level issue as the FSA has indicated that directors and senior management will be held responsible for ensuring that appropriate procedures are in place to meet the FSA's requirements on money laundering. There is also the additional concern that officers, employees and senior management of institutions may find themselves facing criminal charges for breaches of law and regulation in this area. It is therefore vital that senior management teams in the UK keep abreast of developments in regulation in this important area and of the impact that those developments are likely to have on the best practice standards that firms are now expected to meet. This new book examines the entire breadth of UK money laundering law and regulation - from common law up to and including the 2003 Regulations - to provide the finance professional with a thorough commentary and interpretation, and a valuable guide to aid ongoing compliance and risk management.

"This essential resource on money laundering laws contains the up-to-date Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act and Regulations, FINTRAC guidelines and related legislation and materials. The expert commentary, prepared by Terence D. Hall of Cassels, Brock & Blackwell LLP, outlines the compliance requirements and liablilities of lawyers, financial institutions, accountants and other reporting entities under the post-2006 amendments regime. Also included are the Forty Recommendations and the Nine Special Recommendations issued by the Financial Action Task Force."--Back cover
