🚨 New Publication Alert 🚨 The Egmont Group, in collaboration with Financial Action Task Force (FATF), INTERPOL, and UNODC, is proud to announce the release of the first-ever handbook dedicated to international cooperation in the detection, investigation, and prosecution of money laundering. 🛠️ Practical Tools for Global Action This resource helps competent authorities, regardless of jurisdiction size or resources, leverage the full range of international cooperation tools. It places a strong emphasis on informal cooperation to accelerate investigations and improve outcomes. 📄 Complementary Brochures for Key Stakeholders The handbook is accompanied by three operational brochures tailored to the needs of: • Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) • Law Enforcement Authorities (LEAs) • Central Authorities responsible for mutual legal assistance, including prosecutors 🚨 A Call to Action Together, these tools address one of the weakest areas identified in FATF evaluations: the investigation and prosecution of money laundering. Criminals exploit differences in national laws to hide their tracks and avoid justice. This publication urges financial intelligence analysts, investigators, and prosecutors to work together across borders to close those gaps. 💬 “This joint handbook provides FIUs, law enforcement, and prosecutors the tools to cooperate faster and more effectively, helping accelerate investigations and bring more criminals to justice.” — Elżbieta Franków-Jaśkiewicz, Egmont Group Chair 📘 Download the Handbook: https://lnkd.in/gUExgE_B 📄 Explore the Brochures: https://lnkd.in/gqYmQEDS #EgmontGroup #FATF #INTERPOL #UNODC #AML #CFT #InternationalCooperation #FIUs #GlobalSecurity Financial Action Task Force (FATF) | INTERPOL | UNODC | The World Bank | International Monetary Fund | International Association of Prosecutors | The Wolfsberg Group Elżbieta Franków-Jaśkiewicz / Mohammed Shahid Ahmed / Daniel Thelesklaf / Jérôme Beaumont

Single Resolution Board publishes operational guidance on resolvability testing for banks to enhance crisis readiness The Single Resolution Board publishes today its Operational Guidance on Resolvability Testing for Banks, following public consultation. This document is a practical tool for banks to implement the revised EBA Guidelines on resolvability, including expectations on: ✔ The multi-annual testing programme ✔ Testing methods ✔ Internal governance ✔ Test environments ✔ Performing and following up on tests 🔑 Testing is a key component of the #SRMVision2028 shift towards crisis readiness aiming to ensure that resolution strategies are operational and implementable. 🛡 This testing framework, combined with the new harmonised approach to banks’ resolvability self-assessment, strengthens the SRB’s overall approach to resolvability assessment. 🔗 Read the press release on the SRB website | https://lnkd.in/e7nZ2YgG

Regulation and supervision can strengthen banks and improve their profitability. In a speech at the Eurofi Financial Forum, Erik Thedéen, Chair of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, explained how global standards like Basel III help banks remain stable and competitive, even in challenging times. Far from being a constraint, the standards can be a strategic asset as they do not just prevent bad outcomes, but enable good ones. In his remarks, Mr Thedéen maintained that regulation and supervision are in the interest of both banks and the wider economy. Diluting standards might seem attractive in the short term, but history shows that such a move inevitably erodes the very advantage that well run banks have earned over time. https://bit.ly/3VnJ2hi #BankingResilience #BaselIII #FinancialStability
