Event series "Countering the Financing of Terrorism: Lessons for Financial Institutions"

Effective Measures to Combat Terrorist and Extremism Financing - Strengthening Financial Sector Integrity

Terrorism

These live and on-demand webinars provide up-to-the-minute research from leading experts in the field of terrorism and extremism financing.

With the intensification of the terrorist as well as the violent extremism threat over recent years and the concurrent evolution of illegal financing typologies, the pressure on financial institutions to understand, identify and effectively minimize these risks has intensified. As terrorists and extremists constantly modify their ways to collect, move, store and use funds, financial institutions need to adapt their instruments and measures to deny them resources.

In this webinar series, senior industry experts will dive deep into the methods used by terrorists and extremists to raise funds and to move money within and between organizations. It will also highlight what financial institutions can do to develop and implement effective measures for the prevention of terrorist and extremism financing.

The webinars will:

  1. Close the knowledge gap that surrounds how terrorist and extremist financiers act and operate.
  2. Analyze what loopholes banks seemingly continue to offer for terrorist and extremism financiers to exploit.
  3. Discuss whether financial institutions need to employ more nuanced counter terrorist financing (CTF) mechanisms, especially in order to consider the differences between terrorist financing and money laundering.
  4. Examine to what extent financial institutions can improve investigative measures.
  5. Identify innovative technological CTF solutions (e. g., blockchain, artificial intelligence).

Please remain attentive: More information about the upcoming episodes will follow shortly.
