Hi everyone. Ehi Eric Esoimeme’s interview with Sanction Scanner (an anti-money laundering solutions provider aimed to provide cost-efficient AML solutions that can be used by all-size businesses) was published a few days ago as part of their Compliance Interview Series. In this interview, Ehi discussed the latest AML trends, and the Policies, Procedures, and Internal Controls that can help identify and reduce money laundering risks and vulnerabilities in the financial system. One of the AML trends he discussed is where virtual currency exchangers and bitcoin mixers conspire with criminals, and cybercriminals in particular, using virtual currencies to process the proceeds of their illicit activity. Instead of directly transmitting bitcoin between two bitcoin addresses, the mixer disassociates connections in a manner designed to conceal and obfuscate the source or owner of the bitcoin.

This is the latest offering from Ehi Eric Esoimeme who contributed a Chapter to this new e-book/report (Expected Changes in AML After Covid-19) that will impact the AML regime post Covid-19.

Hi Everyone. I am pleased to announce that my new Book “The Risk-Based Approach to Combating Modern Slavery” is now available for purchase. The aforementioned book was published on 22 September, 2019. Internationally, this book would be the first comprehensive book on the assessment and mitigation of modern slavery and human rights risk(s) within the global supply chain infrastructure. The book gives an explicit explanation for how commercial organisations/business enterprises can assess each supplier’s inherent modern slavery and human rights risks. The book also expatiates on how money laundering and terrorist financing risks that involve proceeds of modern slavery can be addressed by financial institutions. Business enterprises that implement the risk-based approach, in line with the guidance given in this book, will be well-placed to avoid the consequences of inappropriate de-risking behaviour. The book is already available for sale on Amazon with a look inside feature https://lnkd.in/gzqDqQ9. You can also buy it in other online stores. Kindly visit the Amazon links to purchase the book: 1.

Hi Everyone. My new book titled “Balancing Anti-Money Laundering/Counter-Terrorist Financing Requirements and Financial Inclusion: The Case of Telecommunications Companies” was published on the 1st of June, 2019. The book explores the following research question: How can telecommunications companies design anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) measures that meet the goal of financial inclusion without compromising the measures that exist for combating money laundering, terrorist financing and other illicit transactions through the financial system? You can purchase a copy or copies of this amazing book on Amazon or through any distributor worldwide.

On the 21st day of July, 2015, my book titled “The Risk-Based Approach to Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing” was published. The aforementioned book has become a major source of reference for researchers and professionals around the world. You can purchase copies of the book online on Amazon and other retail outlets. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Risk-Based-Combating-Laundering-Terrorist-Financing/dp/9789486030/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549187229&sr=8-1&keywords=ehi+esoimeme

My New Book titled  “Deterring and Detecting Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing” is now available for purchase on Amazon. The book was published on 28/02/2018. The book deals with the most relevant topics on AML/CFT. They are “Assessing Risks and Applying a Risk-Based Approach” (chapter 2), “Terrorist Financing” (chapter 5), “Private Banking” (chapter 7), “Prepaid Cards” (chapter 8), “Modern Slavery” (chapter 11), “Fraud” (chapter 13), “Tax Evasion” (chapter 14), “Confiscation and Provisional Measures” (chapter 15) and many more. You can view the full description of the book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Deterring-Detecting-Laundering-Terrorist-Financing/dp/9782787795/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1520197552&sr=1-2&keywords=ehi+esoimeme  

The book uses a mix of different methodologies as opposed to focusing on just one methodology. In addition to the comparative methodology, this book adopts the case-study methodology. The case-study methodology ensures that readers: i. remain familiar with the concepts of money laundering and terrorist financing; ii. maintain a proportionate and risk-level based approach to those threats; iii. adopt the anti-money laundering/counter-terrorist financing procedures appropriate to that level of risk; and iv. review and maintain those procedures regularly.
