TERRORIST FINANCING MONEY LAUNDERING AND TAX EVASION – JAYESH D’SOUZA

Tracking funding is a critical part of the fight against terrorism, and as the threat has escalated, so has the development of financial intelligence units (FIUs) designed to investigate suspicious transactions. *Terrorist Financing, Money Laundering, and Tax Evasion: Examining the Performance of Financial Intelligence Units* provides a thorough analysis of the financing phenomenon—from the raising of funds to government agencies’ efforts to interdict them, to measuring and monitoring the outcomes of these efforts.

This volume begins by presenting deep‑rooted conflicts in the Middle East, the United States, the Indian subcontinent, Northern Ireland, and South America that have led to modern terrorism. It describes recent developments in counterterrorism and discusses the next steps in intelligence reform. Next, the author discusses how financial crime is committed, examining the sources of funds from money laundering, tax evasion, and other illicit activities, and the transfer of these funds. He then covers performance and risk management, and the process of measuring performance using the balanced scorecard method. The book presents an overview of anti‑money‑laundering and counter‑terrorist financing initiatives in several regions around the globe: the European Union, Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East, and Africa.

It concludes with a survey of experts’ opinions on the efficacy of current programs and recommendations for improving government performance in countering terrorist financing and related money laundering and tax evasion. Knowing what to target and how to measure results are essential for performance enhancement in preventing and interdicting financial criminal activity. By establishing the need for accurate assessment of the success and failure of FIUs, the book demonstrates how monitoring and measuring progress is a crucial part of financial interdiction efforts in the fight against terrorism.
