* Addresses the crucial compliance issues arising from the risk-based approach to anti-money laundering procedures, along with the suspicious transaction reporting requirements; tipping-off and monitoring obligations.
* Examines the nature of the money laundering and terrorist financing offences as well as the numerous compliance offences created by the 2010 Act.
* Considers supervision and enforcement issues, as well as important legal issues such as privilege and civil liability.
