New Training Manual on Financial Investigations and Emerging Money Laundering Risks
The CFATF, in collaboration with the COPOLAD III program, is pleased to announce the publication of the training manual Financial Investigations and Analysis for Emerging Money Laundering Risks: Criminal Use of Cryptocurrency.
Between February and March 2024, the CFATF and COPOLAD III hosted a series of specialised training workshops aimed at strengthening the capacity of financial investigators, analysts, and other key stakeholders across the Region. These sessions focused on addressing the evolving risks of money laundering, with particular emphasis on the misuse of virtual assets.
Based on the expertise shared during these workshops, COPOLAD III has developed this comprehensive training manual, formally approved by the CFATF Heads of Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs). The manual provides critical guidance on investigative techniques, analytical tools, and best practices for identifying and mitigating financial crime threats.
This resource is now available for download and serves as an essential tool in the fight against money laundering, equipping practitioners with the necessary knowledge and strategies to navigate the complexities of financial investigations in the digital space.
