In a presentation at the 83rd IBSA General Membership Meeting, Authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Executive Board member Hennie Verbeek-Kusters emphasized that financial intelligence must be relevant, accurate, timely and capable of producing tangible outcomes. This requires strong feedback loops among the private sector, Financial Intelligence Units, law enforcement authorities and supervisors. Verbeek-Kusters highlighted cross-border information exchange and a shared understanding of emerging criminal methods as essential to identifying links between jurisdictions and preventing schemes from spreading. She outlined how the new EU AML/CFT framework and AMLA can deepen cooperation among Financial Intelligence Units, particularly through joint analysis of cross-border cases and new information-sharing mechanisms between public authorities and the private sector.
