ABOUT LAKSHMI KUMAR

I’m an attorney with a Master’s degree in international relations from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy. I have extensive experience working on AML/CFT and anti-corruption policy matters as well as conducting investigations into securities market fraud.I have worked in close proximity with regulators in multiple jurisdictions in South Asia, Africa, South East Asia, and Eurasia, and have helped examine and assess AML statutes and money laundering typologies in those jurisdictions. I have also considerable expertise in conducting risk assessments of the financial sector for AML/CFT purposes and have helped design questionnaires for both India’s national risk assessment as well as a risk assessment tool for the Eurasian region. I have worked and managed large multi-jurisdictional and multi-cultural teams and have worked on assessments for the FATF, APG and the EAG.I am passionate about examining the efficacy of current AML/CFT policy and the relationship that AML/CFT and anti-corruptions laws can have for larger questions of economic development
