Abstract

Purpose: In this study, an attempt has been made to examine the compliance unit’s role in mediating the electronic government’s role in money laundering. E-government is clarified as the application of Information technology to encourage access and transfer of all aspects of government amenities and operations that impact transparency and accountability for the benefit of the people, trades, workforces and other stakeholders. The current study aims to assess whether the e-government can lessen or counterbalance the risks related to money laundering in the country and the mediating role of the compliance unit in reducing money laundering. Methodology: This study practices structural modelling to assess the direct linkage between e-government and anti-money laundering and the indirect path between e-government and anti-money laundering that passes through the compliance unit as a mediator. Findings: The findings prove that the compliance unit fully mediates the relationship between E-government and anti-money laundering. The direct path shows an insignificant relationship between e-government and money laundering, but this association becomes significant when the compliance unit is brought as a mediator. Originality: This study directs that e-government runs on a sustainable ICT platform to improve transparency and accountability of all aspects of government facilities and actions for sustainable economic goals and help to diminish money laundering by enhancing transparency and accountability of government administration.
