Design/methodology/approach - The paper presents an analysis of financial and economic crime in Sri Lanka. Findings - The paper underlines the practical limitations in enforcing the laws and regulations and highlights the need for political will, allocation of resources for law enforcement, capacity building within enforcement agencies and international cooperation as essential conditions for effective law enforcement. Originality/value - Sri Lanka's experience suggests both what is possible as well as not possible to deal with terrorism using law as a tool.
