Money laundering is defined as the process by which illicit money is made to appear licit. It is an essential element of any cash generating criminal venture.

The focus of this paper will be to provide an overview of the issues surrounding money‐laundering enforcement; outline new schemes in use to launder illicit proceeds; detail the elements of an effective anti money‐laundering compliance programme and list the geographic hot spots where money‐laundering risks are the most extreme.
