Description
The War on Dirty Money by Nicholas Gilmour and Tristram Hicks challenges the global approach to tackling financial crime. The authors argue that complacency, self-interest, and misunderstanding have created absurdities in international and government policy-making, facilitating tax evasion, corruption, environmental, and organised crime. Current solutions are often hindered by a lack of resources for frontline crime fighters and an overemphasis on compliance box tickers who are unable to make a meaningful impact. The authors provide a toolbox of evidence-based solutions to help tackle financial crime effectively. By examining the root causes of financial crime, Gilmour and Hicks offer a fresh perspective on how to combat this complex issue.
