Given the detailed explanation of the subject matter, this book will have a long shelf life, making it a solid investment." ( Security Management , September 2012)

In addition, the range of private-sector businesses that must be wary of laundering efforts continues to increase: today, launderers attempt to move money through banks, brokerage houses, insurance companies, charities, multinational service companies, manufacturers, and any type of company imaginable. An invaluable reference for regulators, investigators, and practitioners, this book examines money laundering in its current modern setting, broadening the conversation from its traditional narcotics trafficking context into terror financing and even white-collar crime. Renowned fraud investigator Jonathan Turner sheds light on how conventional money laundering tools highlight the business aspects of these cases, and thus can be applied successfully in white-collar crime matters, even when there is no connection to narcotics trafficking or terror financing. This book explores the evolving incentives to launder money, the adapting technologies that help hide the movement of funds, and the huge financial gains that can be obtained by providing laundering services. It begins with a discussion of the money laundering process, including what it means and how itcame about, examining the inherent challenges between governments and financial institutions. It is estimated that money laundering and its associated criminal proceeds are estimated to equal six to eight percent of the worlds economy. Its no surprise, then, that despite the anti-money laundering programs required by the USA Patriot Act and other modern regulations, money laundering techniques attract a wide variety of participants from traditional criminals to modern fraudsters. Find out how your organization can successfully and efficiently deter, detect, and resolve financial fraud cases through the practical guidance found in Money Laundering Prevention .
