Money laundering and terrorist financing (ML/TF) are financial problems faced across the globe. They are one of the prime reasons why all countries — developed and developing, compromise on their stability, transparency, and efficiency of financial systems. Proper assessment of ML/TF risks is essential for governments across the globe to formulate countermeasures against these economic and social evils.
