As for the practical side, the inductive and analytical approach was adopted. A survey list was prepared to show the role of the Central Bank in combating money laundering.The research reached a number of conclusions and recommendations. The most important conclusion of the research is that the Central Bank of Iraq takes its responsibilities in compliance with money laundering procedures seriously by preparing instructions, guidelines and laws applied to all financial institutions and following up the application of these laws and instructions and determining strict penalties in case of violation in the application or non-application.
