Fraud, Financial Crime and Money Laundering

Fraud, Financial Crime and Money Laundering provides a comprehensive overview of key financial crime related topics and issues.

It has been published to complement and provide the foundation for readings by postgraduate students undertaking the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorist Financing, Fraud and Financial Crime Program within the Australian Graduate School of Policing and Security (AGSPS), Charles Sturt University.

These postgraduate programs are designed to promote best practice in fraud, financial crime, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing investigation, compliance, prevention and management in the private and public sectors. The programs have been designed with the objective of being a “meeting place” between the professional world of practice, contemporary law enforcement techniques and the academic world of theory and research.

This publication, like the postgraduate programs, examines the theory, policy, regulation and practice of financial crime. The authors critically examine specific offences within the financial crime arena and the skills required for a successful identification, investigation and management of this risk. The text also discusses the roles and responsibilities of the various persons and agencies involved in financial crime prevention, compliance and management.
