These six papers were presented at a 1996 conference that focused on money laundering in Australia and current and potential responses to it.
Abstract
The conference was sponsored by the Australian Institute of Criminology, the Office of Strategic Crime Assessments, and the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Center. Individual papers discussed strategic objectives related to money-laundering reporting systems, the issues for regulators, the system used by the United Kingdom, the achievements of the international Financial Action Task Force, and new approaches to investigating money trails. Other papers examined the implications for law enforcement of the move to a cashless society, the economic consequences of money laundering, interagency cooperation within Australia in relation to money laundering, and international cooperation related to addressing money laundering.
