Money Laundering Bulletin turned to two K2 Integrity experts for comment on the future of international anti-money laundering/counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) frameworks and how they could be made more effective. In “Way Ahead—Ideas for Global AML Reform” (17 November 2025), Justina Rousseau and Himamauli Das join the call for incremental improvements rather than radical overhaul.
Justina highlights the importance of collaboration between FIUs, law enforcement, and the private sector. She explains: “Transparency is necessary between financial institutions and their FIUs and regulatory bodies, where they can share experiences without fear of any retribution. Then that should go to the international level, to learn from each other and what can be done.”
Him, former acting director of U.S. FIU FinCEN, points to the US AML Act of 2020, which was designed to “enhance the effectiveness of the AML/CFT framework.” He notes: “It does a good job of identifying key issues that need to be addressed, and it is important for FinCEN, supervisors, and law enforcement to implement key elements of the AML Act.”
