What is it about?
New research constructively critiques the global method for evaluating the effectiveness of anti-money laundering regimes. There is a dearth of scholarship whether the new global AML/CFT ‘effectiveness’ framework is sufficiently robust to assess effectiveness as it purports. This article begins addressing that gap. It combines outcomes/effectiveness and AML disciplines and uses recent mutual evaluations to assess the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATF's) anti-money laundering ‘effectiveness’ methodology.

Why is it important?
If the “outcomes” of the “effectiveness” framework do not match the crime and terrorism prevention policy goals of nation states, the new “main” component for assessing the effectiveness of anti-money laundering regimes potentially detracts focus and resources from, rather than towards, intended policy objectives.
