Project Description
It is only if crime is reported that enforcement agencies can use the intelligence to understand how crime is evolving, to assess what measures may be put in place to counter the evolving threat, seize the proceeds and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Equally, it is only if those same enforcement agencies publish typologies of these evolving threats that the finance sector can assess their business in the light of new criminal practices. Feedback mechanisms between the financial sector, regulators, police and intelligence agencies are essential to the effective combating of financial crime.
Some agencies are better than others in this respect.
