A practical seminar on combating financial fraud and money laundering was held.

The Academy, in cooperation with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and with the financial support of the European Union, held a practical seminar on "Identifying, Preventing, and Investigating Cases of Fraud and Legalization of Criminal Proceeds Using Drop Cards for Compliance Services of Commercial Banks."

The seminar was attended by 26 compliance specialists from commercial banks of the republic, as well as responsible employees of the Central Bank, the Anti-Corruption Agency, and the Law Enforcement Academy.

The main goal of the event was to improve the theoretical knowledge and practical skills of participants in new schemes of financial fraud, cases of money laundering using "drop cards," and their prevention.

During the seminar, the typology and schemes of fraud cases carried out through "drop cards," including methods used in financial pyramids, online fraud, and cybercrime, were covered in detail.

The sessions were chaired by UNODC international experts Ardak Mukasheva and Regional Advisor on Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism Alexander Vodyanov. Experts presented participants with best practices on the behavior and indicators of suspicious transactions, methods for identifying the ultimate beneficiary of the transaction, enhanced client verification measures, analysis of the source of funds, transaction monitoring, and description of digital traces.

The seminar also served to strengthen the mechanisms of interaction between financial intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
