In the global financial architecture, British Overseas Territories are of material significance. Through their inalienable right to self-determination, many developed offshore financial centres to achieve sustainable economic development. Focusing on Bermuda, Turks and Caicos, and Anguilla, the book concerns suspect wealth emanating from financial crimes including corruption, money laundering and tax evasion, as well as controversial conduct like tax avoidance. This work considers the viability of international standards on suspect wealth in the context of the territories; how willing or able they are to comply with them; and how their financial centres can better prevent receipt of suspect wealth. While universalism is desirable in the modern approach to tackling suspect wealth - a one-size-fitsall approach is inappropriate for these jurisdictions. On critically evaluating their legislative and regulatory regimes, the book advances that they demonstrate willingness to comply with international standards. However, their abilities and levels of compliance vary. In acknowledging the facilitatively harmful role the territories can play, this work draws upon evidence of implication in transnational financial crime cases. Notwithstanding this, the book questions whether the degree of criticism that they have encountered is warranted in light of apparent willingness to engage in the enactment and administration of internationally accepted laws, and cooperate with international institutions"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Banks and banking, International $x Territories and possessions. $z Great Britain $x Territories and possessions. 650 0 $a Banks and banking, International $x Law and legislation $z Bermuda Islands. 650 0 $a Banks and banking, International $x Law and legislation $z Anguilla. 650 0 $a Banks and banking, International $x Law and legislation $z Turks and Caicos Islands. 650 7 $a Banks and banking, International $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00827112 651 7 $a Anguilla. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01211573 651 7 $a Bermuda Islands. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206531 651 7 $a Turks and Caicos Islands. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01215557 776 08 $i Online version: $a Thomas-James, Dominic. $t Offshore financial centres and the law $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2021 $z 9780367651107 $w (DLC) 2021002954 830 0 $a Law of financial crime. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021020336.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=044181985F0811ECA70E6FDD2BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
