The book, written by Nigel Morris-Cotterill, then a lawyer in the City of London but already developing a consultancy to help businesses detect and deter money laundering - and to comply with ever-more complex legal requirements, introduced the idea that compliance was not enough: that if businesses were to protect themselves against being the innocent victims of criminals - and to avoid facing prosecution as a result, they needed to focus on risk management.
That idea has now become the norm.
Morris-Cotterill, who now heads The Anti Money Laundering Network group of companies, of which Vortex Centrum Limited, publisher of ChiefOfficers.Net is part, also drew attention to money laundering schemes that have since become commonplace - and to social, economic and political factors which would, he said, result in changes in strategies by criminals. He looked forward a quarter of a century - and so far several of the issues he identified have come to be, and others are taking shape.
The book is available in ebook form from Amazon.Com. The exact price payable depends on the delivery mechanism and the country where the product is delivered. It should cost approx USD20.
