Interaction with supervisory bodies and the private sector

Interaction with supervisory bodies and the private sector

The International Compliance Council (ICC), established under the auspices of the EAG, is an expert platform for the exchange of experience in the field of AML/CFT and information interaction of the private sector with supervisory authorities, as well as FIUs. The Council brings together specialists from EAG Member States, as well as representatives of the private sector. For more details on the structure and documents of the ICC, see the section “International Compliance Council”.

The EAG conducts consultations with private sector institutions of the region in matters pertaining to the practical application of the international AML/CFT standards (the FATF’s Recommendations).

Trends in the development of international and regional AML/CFT systems, key risks and ways used to mitigate them are analyzed during the consultations. The results of the typologies research conducted by the EAG’s experts are discussed.

Consultative forums are a dialogue between supervisory bodies and private sector institutions. Based on the conclusions drawn at the meetings, practical recommendations are devised in order to minimize the risks that financial and non-financial institutions may get involved in criminal schemes, as well as make oversight in the sphere of AML/CFT more efficient.
