ADB plans to update the Manual once in a year or two. Online edition is free of charge.

Extractions: Consulting with Canadians - Active Consultations The Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) is the international body responsible for setting anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing standards. Canada is an active participant in the FATF and in the fight against money laundering , terrorist financing and other abuses of the global financial system. The FATF recently published a document entitled, "Review of the FATF Forty Recommendations Consultation Paper," and has asked for public comment. The paper proposes options for strengthening task force recommendations, which have been endorsed by more than 130 countries and are widely accepted as the leading international anti-money laundering standard. However, since they were last revised in 1996, money laundering methods have changed and new technologies have been developed. The Consultation Paper covers such topics as customer identification, suspicious transaction reporting and the application of anti-money laundering obligations to non-financial businesses and professions.

Extractions: Money Laundering in Burma We have updated The Irrawaddy Research Pages with the new addition of this special feature on money laundering in Burma. Burmas economic miseries are compounded by its collapsing banking sector and the military governments lack of transparency, as well as its half-hearted efforts to eliminate illegal financial transactions in Burma. International governments and independent financial task forces have condemned Burma for failing to meet international standards in combating money laundering. Drug money is widely suspected of keeping Burmas struggling economy afloat. Below is a chronology of events concerning money laundering in Burma and the full text of the laws enacted by Burmas military junta, which first appeared in the state-run daily, the New Light of Myanmar , in December 05, 2003 and June 17, 2002. Chronology of Money Laundering Events January 27, 1993Burmas ruling junta enacts the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Law that includes legal tools to address money laundering, such as seizure of drug-related assets and prosecution of drug conspiracy cases. It repealed the Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Law of 1974. But critics say that the government didnt exercise the Law. Burmese drug officials themselves said that they dont have enough expertise to deal with money laundering and financial crimes.
Extractions: CNN MANILA, Philippines (CNN) Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has signed a law against money laundering, hoping to stall banking sanctions and give teeth to anti-terrorist efforts. Arroyo beat a September 30 deadline by the Paris-based Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to pass such a law. But there is no certainty that the Philippines will avoid sanctions by members of the FATF, which still has to examine in a February plenary session next year what critics call a "railroaded" law. The Senate and the House of Representatives worked through Saturday to reconcile their respective versions of the Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2001. The Senate passed its version of the bill only on Friday, after the House of Representatives completed its own earlier in the week.

Lawmakers who voted against the bill complained it was "watered down" since Congress "was made to work with a loaded gun." Congressman Carlos Padilla admitted that the law "does not have enough teeth," since lawmakers failed to refine the bill due to the pressure to pass the law swiftly. The Philippines government was striving to beat a deadline imposed by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) under the threat of economic sanctions by industrialized countries. The U.S. government was also applying pressure in a bid to identify and freeze the accounts of suspected terrorists.
