4th edition

The fourth edition of this bestselling guide to money laundering compliance has been updated to take account of significant developments in legislation and best practice including:

User-friendly and practical, the book provides an overview of the substantive law and guidance on reporting suspicions, managing money laundering procedures and spotting money laundering activities in a solicitor’s practice, as well as the full text of the Anti-Money Laundering Guidance for the Legal Sector, making it an essential resource for ensuring compliance.
