Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper, which is a part of a PhD thesis, is to detect problems associated with the risk‐based approach to anti‐money laundering (AML), as well as present ways to improve the risk‐based approach.

Design/methodology/approach

The method is law and economics. The PhD thesis itself is also based on a comparative analysis of the Danish and British AML regimes.

Findings

The main findings are: failure to develop adequate risk‐based AML systems, taking into account varying levels of money laundering risk, is not only to be considered in the context of legal risk but also and more importantly in the context of integrity risk; anti‐money laundering (AML) has to be made part of financial and non‐financial institutions' corporate social responsibility policies; the Risk Analysis Manual provided by the Central Bank of The Netherlands lists very specific and comprehensive assessment criteria for a broad range of risks facing financial institutions. This manual could be considered by international bodies and individual financial institutions in informing their risk control; due to their intelligence access, cross‐national agreements of cooperation and exchange of information and contacts to multiple stakeholders, financial intelligence units are better placed in educating financial institutions on AML matters by means of regular typology publications and other guidance based on SARs and other intelligence; and AML considerations should be incorporated in other areas of law, such as immigration law concerning wealthy individuals, if the AML regime is to achieve its intended impact.

Originality/value

The paper highlights how the AML regime in general and the risk‐based approach in particular could be improved so as to meet concerns of both regulatory authorities and regulated entities.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influence of metaliteracy on collaborative and individual information behaviour (IB) among academic staff. The goal is to observe the impact of these competencies on knowledge management (KM) and IB in research tasks connected with the humanities and social sciences.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper presents an implementation of two combined frameworks into a study on the IB of academics: metacompetencies described by Mackey and Jacobson in the metaliteracy model and Burke’s triple-A model. By using the Dervin’s micro-moment time-line interview framework, authors try to observe the state of development of information literacy and other supportive competencies among younger lecturers and researchers.

Findings

Scientists develop patterns of collaborative behaviour based on seven metaliteracy areas in KM.

Research limitations/implications

The study did not include students and other groups related to the academic environment. Their involvement in information processes is a very wide issue and should be the subject of a separate article.

Originality/value

The paper contributes to research development in the area of information literacy as a KM efficiency factor. IB in this paper is a broad concept, in which the development of metaliteracy is an important aspect of lecturers’ and researchers’ KM and collaboration skills.
