AFI, in collaboration with Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), are pleased to host the BNM-AFI Virtual Member Training on Inclusive Financial Integrity.

The growing threat of illicit financial flows to the stability and integrity of the global financial system has resulted in increasing pressure to develop frameworks to effectively identify and monitor potential risks. Worldwide, financial policymakers and regulators have committed significant resources to comply with the global standards for anti-money laundering/countering the financing of terrorism/countering the financing of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction as set out in the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendations.

The objective of this training is to enable participants to identify the practical steps to be taken to integrate financial integrity standards into financial inclusion policies for mutual reinforcement. This training will be focused on the AFI Publication – Inclusive Financial Integrity: A Toolkit for Policymakers which provides guidance to policymakers on incorporating a financial integrity lens into national financial inclusion strategies by identifying potential AML-CFT risk areas and implementing policies to promote the use of formal financial services.

The training will follow AFI’s model of peer learning, and all the nominated participants will be expected to participate actively and share the work done by their respective institutions during the training.
