Compliance in multinational corporations: business risks in bribery, money laundering, terrorism financing and sanctions

摘要

A 160-page book cannot fully cover vast topics like money laundering and terrorism financing. And yet this work by Bruno Sergi, an economist based at Messina and Harvard, and Fabian Teichmann, a practitioner who founded the law firm Teichmann International in Switzerland, is a highly welcome addition to the existing literature. It provides a clear and compact range of possible solutions to transnational financial and business crimes, based on sound methodology. The section on money laundering, for example, draws on '50 informal interviews with providers of illegal financial services and 50 formal interviews with prevention experts' (pp. 34-5), as well as quantitative surveys with compliance officers; a similar approach is used to research terrorism financing.
