Before you ask us
What does each whitepaper cover?
Each paper takes one jurisdiction or one sector and walks through the legal framework, the regulators and the financial intelligence unit, the main money laundering and terrorist financing risks, and the obligations firms carry, from customer due diligence to suspicious activity reporting.
Which jurisdictions and sectors are covered?
19 jurisdictions across Europe and Türkiye, the Americas, the Middle East and Africa, and Asia-Pacific, plus three sector papers on banking, fintech and insurance. Use the region filter above to narrow the list.
How do I get the full PDF?
Open the paper, enter your name and work email (company is optional) and download the PDF. The summary on each page stays open to read, and every paper is free.
Who are these papers written for?
Compliance officers, MLROs, risk and legal teams who need a structured view of a market before they onboard customers there, launch a product or prepare for a regulatory review.
How current are they?
Each paper shows when it was last reviewed. Regulation moves faster than any PDF, so check the primary legislation and the regulator's latest guidance before you act on a specific requirement.
How is a whitepaper different from a country regulation guide?
A whitepaper is a deeper read on one market: its framework, its risks and how it is supervised. Our country regulation guides are shorter and built for quick reference on the requirements themselves. Most teams use both.
Can we share them internally or with our auditor?
Yes. Share them with your team, your board or your auditor. That is what they are for. Please credit complead when you quote from them.
Are the whitepapers legal advice?
No. They are research to help you understand a market. Decisions about your own obligations should rest on the primary legislation and your legal counsel.
Can you cover a jurisdiction or sector that is not listed?
Yes, tell us which one through the contact page. Requests from compliance teams shape which papers we write next.
How does this connect to the complead platform?
The papers explain what each market requires. The complead platform is where those requirements run: sanctions and PEP screening, ongoing monitoring, transaction monitoring and customer risk assessment on one engine.
