These one-week workshops, presented by the IMF's Legal Department, aim to enhance and strengthen the capacities of various groups of officials engaged in anti-money-laundering (AML) and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT).
The workshops for financial sector supervisors aim to focus on risk-based supervisory measures and procedures needed for on-site bank inspections to review the level of compliance with laws and regulations with respect to customer identification and due diligence; transaction monitoring and recordkeeping; and identification and reporting of unusual/suspicious transactions. They also examine and demonstrate the types of measures that should be applied in assessing the adequacy of AML/CFT risk management controls in insurance and securities firms.
The workshops for criminal justice officials cover issues related to criminal prosecutions of money laundering and financing of terrorism; seizing and freezing powers and other provisional measures concerning criminal proceeds and assets linked to terrorism, forfeiture of criminal proceeds, and terrorist finance instruments; international cooperation, including mutual assistance; money laundering and terrorist finance typologies; and techniques used for successful AML/CFT cases.
The workshops for FIU officials provide training on the analysis of financial information and on how to generate intelligence from the financial and other information they analyze in order to put together cases for successful prosecution.
