Abstract

[The self-protecting theory is essentially a theory of regulation. It explains how MLROs balance the desire of regulators to have an effective regulation and the desire of banks to have an efficient compliance. The chapter presents the Middle-Course Approach, a potential solution to the effectiveness and efficiency trade-off. The approach suggests that for an effective and efficient AML regulation and compliance, MLROs should be treated fairly and given the required independence to perform their function. Unlike the research by Scholz (1984) and Ayres and Braithwaite (1992) which states that looking at the problem of regulation from the perspective of enforcement, the middle-course approach is looking at the problem from the point of the regulated.]
