Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effectiveness of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF’s) recommendations in Latin America in the fight against Money Laundering (ML) through the Immediate Outcomes 4 (Preventive Measures) and 6 (Financial Intelligence) and the relationship between anti-money laundering (AML) effectiveness and anti-corruption measures.

Design/methodology/approach

Through quantitative and quality methods measure the performance of the Immediate Outcomes’ levels in compliance with the established FATF’ standards; The objective is to analyze progress in the prevention and identification of ML.

Findings

The authors discuss the relationship between AML effectiveness and anti-corruption measures starting with the analysis of the best-ranked country in these indicators (IO4 and IO6).

Research limitations/implications

Mutual evaluations require a long process, which is why the authors do not have all the updated data for all the Latin American countries; only the updated Immediate Outcomes data up to September 16, 2021, are taken. This paper is part of the Research Project “The impacts of corruption in the Western Hemisphere and regional responses.”

Originality/value

Through a multidisciplinary analysis, the Immediate Results evaluation model is prioritized to measure the effectiveness of the methods applied in Latin America through the IO4 and IO6. The model that presents the best effectiveness is selected and the successes that this country is applying over its peers are analyzed. From this analysis, a quantitative and qualitative analysis can be appreciated.

拉丁美洲的反洗钱有效性能否影响腐败预防？

目的

本文的目的是通过即时结果 4（预防措施）和 6（金融情报）分析拉丁美洲金融行动特别工作组 (FATF) 在打击洗钱 (ML) 方面的建议的有效性及其关系反洗钱 (AML) 有效性和反腐败措施之间的关系。

设计/方法/方法

通过定量和质量方法，根据既定的 FATF 标准衡量即时结果水平的表现；目的是分析预防和识别 ML 的进展。

发现

作者从对这些指标（IO4 和 IO6）中排名最高的国家的分析开始，讨论了反洗钱有效性与反腐败措施之间的关系。

研究限制/影响

相互评估需要一个漫长的过程，这就是为什么作者没有所有拉丁美洲国家的所有更新数据；仅采用截至 2021 年 9 月 16 日的最新即时结果数据。本文是“西半球腐败的影响和区域反应”研究项目的一部分。

原创性/价值

通过多学科分析，优先考虑立即结果评估模型，以衡量通过 IO4 和 IO6 在拉丁美洲应用的方法的有效性。选择了表现出最佳效果的模型，并分析了该国家在其同行中所取得的成功。从这个分析中，可以理解定量和定性分析。
