The Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies (CFCS) delivers pioneering analysis and actionable ideas in the fight against financial crime. Our research equips the international community with the knowledge, tools and insights to understand, identify and disrupt the threats of illicit finance. We drive change through our partnership-based approach and viable solutions.
Since its creation in 2014, CFCS has become a central figure in the policymaking landscape, working with governments, law enforcement, the private sector and other members of civil society to tackle challenges in the world of illicit finance.
We analyse global illicit finance threats, including:
- Money Laundering
- Terrorist Financing
- Proliferation Financing
- Abuse of New Technologies
- Illicit Financial Flows
We also look at the policy responses and tools to counter those threats:
- Sanctions
- Public-Private Partnerships
- Information Sharing
- Financial Inclusion
- Capacity Building and Technical Assistance
