ReviewsI highly recommend the informative book Compliance in Multinational Corporations: Business Risks in Bribery, Money Laundering, Terrorism Financing and Sanctions by Fabian Teichmann and Bruno Sergi. With the prevailing tension among governments and players of the underground economy, the book is timely for those who are looking for answers on the cost and economics related to worldwide corruption, money laundering, and financial malpractices. The book provides a wealth of information to academic researchers, faculties teaching International finance, economics and business law, attorneys dealing with the multinational business environment, decision makers at national and state law enforcement agencies, and executives at offshore banking centers. Both authors are prominent specialists and distinguished scholars in their own right, and possess prolific track records in articulating the economics and legal issues related to cross-border corruption, bribery, money laundering, and terrorism., Through an analysis of the pertinent legal environment on the basis of international conventions, coupled with an empirical analysis of interviews with one hundred experts on the issues being discussed, the book takes an innovative look at the perspectives of both criminals and compliance experts to provide a long-lasting guide for compliance professionals... The book will prove an essential resource for compliance managers, academics and professional educators who wish to equip themselves against the significant risks they face., Sergi and Teichmann combine the perspectives of the academic and the practitioner in analysing key issues of financial crime that multinational corporations face today: bribery, money laundering, terrorism financing. How can corporations address them? How useful are sanctions and embargoes? The authors offer a compelling and innovative point of view by drawing on extensive empirical material: cases, experiences, experts' analyses. This book is a must-read for compliance managers and anyone exposed to financial crime's increasing global risks., Compliance in Multinational Corporations: Business Risks in Bribery, Money Laundering, Terrorism Financing and Sanctions touches upon some of the most critical challenges of our day: preventing serious financial crime, enforcing pertinent regulatory framework, and ensuring ethical and effective behavior of multinational corporations. The authors show that preserving the law-abiding character of corporations requires multi-faceted efforts. They go going beyond the precepts of traditional compliance and financial crime literature, to search for innovative and practical solutions. Through an original empirical enterprise, they offer novel insights and practical guidance on how to address the most pressing challenges and dilemmas of modern society and its developmental aspirations: bribery, money laundering, and terrorism financing., Teichmann, an attorney and public notary in Switzerland, and Sergi, an economist in the US, outline an approach for multinational organizations to eliminating corruption and bribery, focusing on systems that incentivize compliance with rules and regulations, rather than paying bribes. They consider how conventional incentive systems foster or prevent corruption in these corporations, how these systems should be adjusted to ensure more effective compliance with formal anti-bribery rules and multinational corporations, how incentive systems should be adjusted to foster anti-bribery whistleblowing, and the difficulties in introducing anti-bribery incentives. They discuss challenges and solutions to money laundering, how multinational corporations become trapped in terrorism financing, and the use of sanctions and embargoes and whether they are effective political tools., [ Compliance in Multinational Corporations ] is a highly welcome addition to the existing literature on money laundering and terrorism financing. It provides a clear and compact range of possible solutions to transnational financial and business crimes, based on sound methodology., The work of Teichmann and Sergi is timely in a world where globalized practices determine increasing complexity within the compliance of organizations. Asking relevant questions and bringing societal values forward are essential skills for this debate to surface successfully. This book contributes greatly to it.

SynopsisOver the past two decades, the enforcement of anti-bribery, anti-money-laundering and anti-terrorism-financing regulations has become increasingly challenging for multinational corporations. Bribery and money laundering scandals have the potential to take down entire multinational corporations. Frequently, managers in charge of those firms end up facing criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits, and are not equipped with the formal legal training to prevent these phenomena. Compliance in Multinational Corporations explores the historical background of such phenomena as bribery, money laundering, and terrorism financing. Analysing the legal environment based upon international conventions, and including an empirical analysis of 100 expert interviews, it takes an innovative look at the perspectives of both criminals and compliance experts to provide a long-lasting guide for compliance experts. While traditional compliance and financial crime literature focuses on rules, regulations and prevention mechanisms, this book shows how intelligent criminals act. It offers practical advice and concrete guidelines that will address the most pre-eminent compliance challenges. The book will prove an essential resource for compliance managers, academics and professional educators who wish to equip themselves against the significant risks they face., Compliance in Multinational Corporations explores phenomena such as bribery, money laundering, and terrorism financing.
