The current financial crisis has placed a substantial amount of pressure on financial institutions to both cope with the crisis and ensure that sufficient funds are available. The authors point
out that these pressures may be affecting supervision of measures designed for anti-money laundering and terrorism financing (AML/CFT). The book provides examples of best practices to help
countries improve AML/CFT supervision in their banking sectors. The book is intended for bank supervisors, but will also interest readers working in finance, corruption prevention, law,
accounting, and corporate governance. Authors Chatqain, McDowell, and Mousset are financial sector specialists; Schott is an attorney and van der Does de Willebois specializes in related areas
at the World Bank. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
