Anotácia:

The integrity, efficiency, reputation, and stability of society—particularly with reference to the financial system—are all clearly at risk from money laundering activities. The need for effective regulations on this matter is at an all time high. Over the past few decades, nations from all over the globe have teamed up to fight money laundering, which has had an influence on criminal organizations and their fraudulent activities globally. Member states in the EU with close cooperation of member states have made significant strides to develop a unified framework and prevent needless duplication and overlap that would significantly affect the fight against money laundering. Using Systematic Literature Review, this paper aims to create an solid understanding of the issue of money laundering by drawing a landscape of the global AML regulations with a focus on EU and their effectiveness.
