The Role of Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) in NBFIs Supervision

The **Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU)** is a critical source of actionable intelligence for the supervision of Non-Bank Financial Institutions (NBFIs), especially given their vulnerability to money laundering and illicit finance. This course provides a focused guide on leveraging the FIU's data and analysis to enhance the effectiveness of NBFI supervision. Participants will learn how to utilize Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) data for risk assessment, establish secure information exchange protocols, and coordinate supervisory and investigative actions. The program emphasizes the legal basis for information sharing, the ethical use of intelligence, and maximizing the collaboration between the prudential regulator and the FIU to combat financial crime across the non-bank sector.
