The

site
of
Geolab's
Governance
Unit
is
bilingual
and
provides
up-to-date
information
and
comments
on
issues
of
economic
crime,
e.g.
money
laundering,
fraud,
terrorist
financing.
The
"DiaCulture
in
the
21st
Century"
site
of
GeoLab's
Intercultural
Studies'
Unit
is
trilingual
and
presents
views,
ideas
and
developments
in
intercultural
studies
and
diplomacy
from
around
the
world.
The Area Studies site of GeoLab's Area Studies Unit is multilingual focusing on current regional issues of vital importance to global and regional affairs.
Overview: Despite
the onslaught of
legislative initiatives
surrounding AML/CTF, it
is difficult to make any
conclusive remarks on
the effectiveness of the
broader system that
attempts to control
money laundering and
terrorist financing.
Based on his new book on
‘Technology and
Anti-Money Laundering’,
the speaker will unravel
much of the complexity
surrounding AML and
offer practical advice
for financial
institutions.
