Summary

The War on Dirty Money explores the inefficacies and contradictions in global efforts to combat financial crime. Nicholas Gilmour and Tristram Hicks argue that billions are wasted annually due to complacency and misunderstandings that separate crime from its causes. The book reveals how policies inadvertently support tax evasion, corruption, environmental and organised crime while frontline investigators lack resources, hindered by bureaucratic compliance. It offers practical, evidence-based solutions to empower those fighting financial crime more effectively.

Description

Billions of dollars are wasted each year trying to prevent dirty money entering a financial system that is already awash with it. The authors challenge the global approach, arguing that complacency, self-interest and misunderstanding have now created long-standing absurdities.

International and government policymakers inadvertently facilitate tax evasion, corruption, environmental and organised crime by separating crime from its root cause. The handful of crime fighters that do exist are starved of resources while an army of compliance box tickers are prevented from truly helping. The authors provide a toolbox of evidence-based solutions to help the frontline tackle financial crime.
