Workshops

The FFIS programme delivers a range of workshops to inform the establishment of public-private financial information-sharing partnerships in key jurisdictions and major financial centres. The workshops convene key policy, law enforcement, regulator, finance and professional sector leaders and research/NGO experts at the national and international level. We facilitate discussion, bringing in a range of perspectives, on the effectiveness and the appropriate breadth and depth of information sharing. The workshops involve a number of sessions that unpack the latest operational lessons from existing practice around the world.  

​
Research

The FFIS programme publishes thought leadership on a range of aspects of public/private information sharing mechanisms around the world in this frontier area of anti-money laundering and financial crime.  Our intention is to advance international public-policy debates around financial intelligence sharing by providing nuanced analysis about the common and distinctive attributes of current national examples and making recommendations as to how to further enhance the effectiveness and integration of such public-private partnerships.
