Charities and Terrorist Financing: How to Tell the Good from the Bad (Audio / Visual CD-ROM)

After 9/11, charities gained new prominence as an innovative means for terrorists to collect, conceal and move their money. Government investigators found disturbing ties between apparently respectable charitable organizations and known terrorist groups. How do you distinguish the thousands of charities doing truly humanitarian work from those with a malevolent purpose? In this web seminar, experts will discuss the steps international organizations are taking to help stop the abuse of charities. You will also see what you can do at a local level to stop the exploitation of charities and better protect your institution and your community.
