| TITLE |
| MONEY LAUNDERING AND TERRORISM FINANCING RISKS POSED BY ALTERNATIVE REMITTANCE IN AUSTRALIA |
|
| ABSTRACT |
| Alternative remittance systems have operated for hundreds of years in non-Western societies. These systems transfer money from one country to another through the use of agents who enter into agreements with each other, thus avoiding the conventional bank routes for transferring funds. Although such systems are legitimate and legal, concerns have arisen in the international community with regards to the risks such systems pose for the illegal movements of funds and proceeds of crime and for the financing of terrorist activities all over the world. The book proposes an analysis of the situation of alternative remittance systems in Australia and of the efforts to apply to these systems the same regulatory controls that apply to conventional corporations and financial institutions. |
