Foreword to the country reports
Mark Pieth
Following on from the broad overview of the international standards, this
second part of the book focuses on each of the four countries and their respec-
tive financial centres. These reports were compiled by experts all of whom
were based in the country about which they write. In describing the existing
AML structures, the experts were required to follow a common format based
on a questionnaire that was discussed with them beforehand. Local experts
were chosen so as to obtain the `inside view' of each system. The aim was to
address the complete context of each of the AML systems and how they oper-
ate, in order to obtain an understanding from a functional perspective. The
individual authors are responsible for the accuracy of the information
contained in their respective contributions. The law is stated as at June 2003
for all reports except Switzerland which is stated as at October 2003.
The experts and their affiliations are as follows:

Singapore Madeline Lee, LL.B, LL.M, Advocate and Solicitor of Malaysia
and Singapore, at Raslan Loong.
Switzerland Dr Nadja Capus and Mathias Pini, researchers at the faculty of
law and assistants of Professor Mark Pieth, Basel University and the Basel
Institute on Governance.
UK Michiel Visser, Leonardo Raznovich and Sara Fyson of Oxford
