Meredith Fitzpatrick and Peter Bott1The past decade has showcased a dynamic cryptocurrency industry populated with incredible successes and fantastic failures, marked by innovative technical developments, aggressive business expansion, and exploitative actors.

Maud Bökkerink1For two decades, there has been a call for a more risk-based approach to Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT). Although the Dutch AML/CFT Act (Wet ter voorkoming van witwassen en financieren van terrorisme, Wwft) permits such an approach, supervisory enforcements measures over the past years illustrate that implementing a Risk-Based Approach (RBA) within AML/CFT measures is far from straightforward.

Maria Shalimova1For some time, we have observed the apparent failures and breaches in the financial regulation within the European and other world financial markets.

prof. dr. E.D. Karssing1In de bedrijfsethiek is een groot aantal boeken en artikelen verschenen waarin op praktische wijze prangende vraagstukken worden behandeld en concrete aanbevelingen worden gedaan voor het bevorderen van de ethiek en integriteit van organisaties en hun medewerkers.
