ABOUT
As part of my on-going examination of the important issues and developments in money laundering and financial crime, I write
articles, books and other discussion documents on a regular basis - and also now appear on the (very small) silver screen.
Anti-Money Laundering:
What You Need to Know
This book is written for staff working in
firms covered by AML requirements,
which place requirements on such
firms to put in place policies and
procedures to prevent and forestall
money laundering and terrorist
financing. This concise book covers
the central tenets of the AML regime -
customer due diligence, record-
keeping, reporting and staff training -
for staff working in the jurisdiction and
sector specified by each edition. Each
edition also contains an outline of the
relevant legislation, sector-specific
case studies and red flags, and links to
further information.
Fatal Forgery - a novel
Susan's first fictional foray into the
world of financial crime is now
available. Set in London in 1824,
"Fatal Forgery" tells the (almost true)
story of a banker-turned-forger and the
intrepid police officer who investigates
him.

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING
TRAINING AND ADVICE
Money Laundering
Bulletin
I write a monthly article for
leading trade paper Money
Laundering Bulletin, where I
look at the AML regimes
operating in various
jurisdictions and also offer
practical advice to MLROs on
how to make their lives easier
(short of resigning, of course).
Suspicious Activity: The
Adventures of an MLRO
Edward Jones is a Money Laundering
Reporting Officer at Radleys Bank. In
common with other MLROs, he has to
balance legal requirements,
recalcitrant colleagues and sniffy
customers. He first appeared in the
pages of Money Laundering Bulletin,
and is now being published as a
serialised e-book on the Kindle
platform. (Free software from Amazon
can be downloaded to enable iPads,
iPods, Windows PCs and Macs to
download and read Kindle e-books.)

the six books in the series, click below.
Anti-Money Laundering:
A Guide for the Non-
Executive Director
This book is written for non-executive
directors of firms covered by AML
requirements, which place
requirements on such firms to put in
place policies and procedures to
prevent and forestall money
laundering and terrorist financing - and
hold the directors of those firms
responsible for ensuring that this is
done. It is essential that every director
- whether executive or non-executive -
is aware of the heightened
requirements of the AML/CFT regime
of his regime, and his responsibilities
under it. This concise book gives him
that information.
Heir Apparent - a novel
Susan's sixth novel featuring
magistrates’ constable Sam Plank is
now available. In this new mystery,
set in London in 1829, a young man
returns to London from the family
plantation in the Caribbean after an
absence of six years to be at his
father’s deathbed – and to inherit his
estate. But is the new arrival who he
says he is, or an impostor? With their
investigations leading them into the
complicated world of inheritance law
and due process after death,
Constable Sam Plank and his loyal
lieutenant William Wilson come face to
face with the death trade and those
who profit from it – legally or
otherwise.
