Description

A concise and practical guide to domestic laws dealing with proceeds of crime and money laundering. It includes discussion of the recent amendments to the Criminal Code and new anti-terrorism legislation. This timely text places the Canadian experience in the broader international context.

Money Laundering and Proceeds of Crime is an important addition to the libraries of both the Crown and defence bars in Canada, as well as accountants and officers of Canadian and international financial institutions who must comply with these new domestic and cross-border initiatives.
