At the intersection of finance, technology, law, governance, and international cooperation, this multidisciplinary exploration offers profound insights into the nuanced world of financial crime across diverse jurisdictions, including Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Nigeria and the United Kingdom.

Discover a wealth of knowledge as contributors investigate facets such as asset forfeiture, non-conviction-based asset recovery, money laundering in the real estate sector, and the challenges and opportunities posed by new technologies and fintechs. Unravel the crypto crime and terror nexus and explore the necessity of public-private collaboration to combat the abuse of Non-Fungible Tokens. Dive into policy approaches, including the WireCard scandal, and understand how good governance, both public and corporate, remains paramount in the fight against financial crime.

As we navigate an age of intergovernmental rulemaking, the collection emphasizes the crucial role of robust governance frameworks and examines the impact of permissive regulation on practices in the City of London. Delve into discussions on crime risk, risk management, de-risking, and the potential consequences of overcompliance and conservative risk approaches on financial exclusion levels.

While global standards on financial crime have solidified over the past three decades, the future direction of standard-setting and compliance enforcement remains uncertain in our complex global political landscape. The collection concludes by pondering these current challenges, offering a thought-provoking exploration of what lies ahead.

This collection a product of the Financial Integrity Hub (FIH), serves as a valuable resource for financial regulators, compliance officers, and scholars, offering profound insights and perspectives to navigate the dynamic landscape of financial crime combatting.
