Existing Polish AML/CFT training materials are overwhelmingly Polish language, overwhelmingly thin, and overwhelmingly designed to satisfy a regulatory requirement rather than to develop genuine analytical competence. The English language market comprising of international firms operating in Poland, foreign counsel advising Polish clients, or multinational compliance teams responsible for Polish entities has had nothing, yet.

This manual is written to provide for that absence. Published by Salwius & Lazareva and ISBN-registered with the Biblioteka Narodowa, it is a full length practitioner's reference work covering every dimension of the Polish AML/CFT framework from its international origins in the 1988 Vienna Convention and the FATF Recommendations through to the 2026 regulatory convergence of AMLA, MiCA, and KSeF.

The closest analogue in purpose and register is a well written text that is not just authoritative, specific and rigorous but also written for people who use it when a problem is before them and accuracy of decisions matters. Not a textbook. Not a compliance manual. A reference work.

Each substantive chapter opens with an analytical frame that makes the chapter's content coherent before the statutory analysis begins. It then proceeds through the full Polish statutory foundation, the international and European framework from which it derives, the primary typologies with complete analytical treatment, case studies written in the register of decided practitioner cases, and supervisory practice notes identifying what GIIF actually looks for on inspection. Each chapter closes with a conclusion that advances the reader's understanding and five scenario based self-assessment questions that test analytical depth rather than memory.
