Ms Collins said New Zealand cannot afford to be complacent about organised crime, which she described as a constantly evolving threat.
"Although our Government consistently ranks as the most transparent and least corrupt in the world, we cannot afford to be complacent," Ms Collins said.
"We've done a lot already to fight organised crime, and we've been successful. But it is a constantly evolving threat so we need to be a step ahead legislatively and operationally."
The recommendations will be progressed through an Organised Crime and Anti-Corruption Bill.
Key recommendations include:
* Redrafting the money laundering offence to say that intent to conceal is not a requirement of the offence in order to comply with international obligations from the Financial Action Task Force and the United Nations Convention on Transnational Organised Crime.
* Making it easier for police to prosecute money laundering by removing the five-year imprisonment threshold from the money laundering offence.
* Requiring banks to report on all international transfers of more than $1000 and all physical cash transactions over $10,000 to the Financial Intelligence Unit within Police under the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act 2009.
* Introducing new offences to address identity crime including, making it an offence to sell or pass on identity information.
* Amending the trafficking offence to remove the requirement to cross borders.
* Developing an anti-corruption strategy for both private and public sectors and ratifying the United Nations Convention against Corruption.
