The Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG) is an inter-governmental organisation, consisting of 41member jurisdictions. The objective of the APG is to ensure that individual members effectively implement the international standards against money laundering, terrorist financing and proliferation financing related to weapons of mass destruction.
One of the mandates of the APG is to publish regional money laundering (ML) and terrorism financing (TF) typologies reports to assist governments and other stakeholders to better understand the nature of existing and emerging ML and TF threats and pursue effective strategies to address those threats. The APG’s yearly typologies reports include:
- observations on ML and TF techniques and methods;
- case studies; and
- The impact of legislative or regulatory developments in detecting and / or preventing particular methods.
The 2022 APG Typologies Report includes 236 case studies and observations from 22 APG members and 9 observers. This is a significant increase from previous years, and reflects the strong support for this report receives from the APG community of governments and organisations, and its utility to a wide audience globally.
