Abstract:

The institutionalisation of anti-money laundering regulations in banking organizations: implications for information systems security
Abstract: The focus of this research is the exploration and analysis of the way that anti-money laundering regulations are institutionalised in the banking sector, to contribute to increased understanding of the socio-organizational issues, dynamics and the implications for Information Systems Security to prevent security breaches posted by money laundering. The ontology informing this research is the socio-constructivist viewpoint and an interpretive stance as an epistemological approach. Moreover, this research is informed by neo-institutional theory.
