Anti-Money Laundering in Gaming Law (LAWS90343)

The nature of money laundering crimes constantly transforms, mutate, and evolve. National and international bodies have to adapt their anti-money laundering (AML) framework to stay relevant in the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism.   

In this subject we provide an overview of AML, we introduce the international stakeholders that fight money laundering and terrorism finance. We will also provide a comparative law analysis across three jurisdictions (the United States, Australia and Macao) alongside case studies that highlight the challenges in each jurisdiction and provides for a practical skills experience through an evaluation of U.S. national and international regulatory reporting requirements and forms. 

Note, this subject is being run in conjunction with staff and students from the William S. Boyd School of Law, University of Nevada, Las Vegas. 

There will an additional an optional off-campus excursion (Australian Gaming Field Seminar) running on 13 and 14 July based in Melbourne, to be led by Professor Becky Harris. If you are interested in this opportunity, please get in touch with the subject coordinator.
