"​In this book you can easily understand (with the assistance of examples), the different stages of money laundering, the methods you can implement to mitigate it and how to prevent it from happening to you. The author guides you gradually to understand the whole process involved in money laundering.
Since money laundering can have different faces, some more complex than others, companies and people like you and me can be exposed to this type of operations that can affect us and lead us to commit a felony; so we need to create a corporate culture based one hundred percent on ethics, values ​​and codes of conduct.
For universities, this book constitutes an outstanding guide for students to understand step by step how money laundering occurs, what is involved and what needs to be done to prevent it. For businesses, it is important to know the new figure of Compliance Officer, a position that was created by the financial system guidelines known as Basel, whose main function includes identifying risks, and defining the policies to mitigate and prevent them.
Finally, if you want to know more about how to prevent money laundering by one of the few experts in Mexico on the subject; do not hesitate to read this book."

Through reading I found out what money laundering is, how is distinguished from other illegal ways of handling money in the business and what procedures are used to conduct this illicit practice as well as various forms of identification. It is worth mentioning the role, organization or area that the author mentions -compliance- which fits nicely within the structure of corporate governance; that could be used to successfully meet the legal and social responsibilities companies' have to comply with. The book also has many other important aspects that characterize it as a useful guide to addressing the risk of money laundering."

"A technical book, attractive from the title. Easy to read, addresses in a simple and didactic way, a
​tricky and sensitive issue, for which there are few references in Spanish: money laundering. It mentions ways in which the phenomenon occurs and ways to prevent and detect it. Monica takes the reader by the hand and explains the ins and outs of this crime from which many of us think we are safe; but more due to ignorance than with valid arguments.  
In a pleasant and practical way, we can learn in just a few hours
-what the author has lived and experienced in real life-, so by reading this book the reader saves years of personal experience.
I think it is important that professionals from areas such as Internal Audit, Risks, Asset Security and Legal, among others who have not had contact with the subject, read this book to learn about it. In doing so they can determine whether to adopt and adapt teachings to their environment, or confirm that for the moment it doesn´t apply to them. Because as the author reiterates in various parts of her work: the business conditions are constantly changing and therefore the risks to which a company is exposed.
For those already working on the issue, this book will probably serve as a reference to compare what they do against other experiences and to conclude whether they have areas of opportunity to improve."

"The future society requires a new paradigm in the order of People, Planet and Profit. Decision-makers
at the top called -Tone at the Top- have initiated the human risk assessment for better communication in the organizations. This approach means the self-assessment and self-control of human spirituality which enhances the integrity and accountability of business communities in perspective of ethical moral management strategy. 
​The book Don´t let them wash, Nor dry! inspires to create a good internal control environment."
