In the area of anti-money laundering (AML) and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT), there are a number of conventions, principles, recommendations, guidelines, model laws, etc., and it is not easy for many of us to refer to those by visiting each organization's web site one by one.
This Manual is a 524-pages publication compiling some of those documents, with consents by organizations that produced the original documents. It was prepared under ADB’s regional technical assistance No. 5967 – Countering Money Laundering in the Asian and Pacific Region, to enhance the dissemination and use of these important documents among government officials and others in charge of AML/CFT. ADB plans to update the Manual once in a year or two.
Online edition is free of charge.
