Money laundering is a serious crime that presents a heightened, yet underrated, global threat. The Flow of Illicit Funds provides compliance professionals, students, and anyone interested in financial crime with new insight into this highly elusive and often complex crime.
In her book, Ola M. Tucker goes beyond the implementation of anti-money laundering compliance programs offered by most guides and provides professionals with a holistic understanding of the modern money laundering system. Using recent case studies, Tucker explains some of the most common money laundering techniques used by criminals today, describes the key role of the financial system in the disguise and transfer of illicit funds, and offers valuable insight into how financial institutions can protect themselves from being used as conduits for the movement of dirty money. The book concludes by offering suggestions to help compliance professionals better detect and deter money laundering.

Ola begins her book describing the origin of money laundering dates back in ancient times, caught me with total surprise.
The book covers major typologies, advancement made and upcoming trends for various areas of illicit flow such as human trafficking, modern day slavery, drug trafficking etc. It is done beautifully by telling real-life financial crime cases, which helps recognize on how money laundering is not a victimless crime as it may seem firsthand.
Additionally, summarizes the history of laws and regulations in place to fight financial crime, and key steps we can take to be more efficient.
The book will enable you to see the world differently and a must read for everyone for including compliance experts.

This stuff kills me. I feel like I am constantly listening to the same thing. I want more detail from case studies. Great read though. Very much like a textbook. The topic is pretty repetitive.
