Question 121/304

A national Financial Intelligence Unit, which is responsible for receiving, analyzing and disseminating disclosure of financial information, should consider becoming a member of what organization?

A. The Egmont Group

B. The Wolfsberg Group

C. The Financial Action Task Force

D. The Basel Committee

Correct Answer: A

it describes the organization that a national Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) should consider becoming a member of, which is the Egmont Group. The Egmont Group is an international network of FIUs that was established in 1995 to facilitate the exchange of financial intelligence and information among its members, and to promote cooperation and coordination in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing.
The Egmont Group currently has 166 member FIUs from different jurisdictions, and provides them with various benefits, such as access to secure communication channels, best practices, training, and technical assistance. The Egmont Group also works closely with other international organizations, such as the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the United Nations, and the World Bank, to enhance the global anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CTF) framework.
The other options are not necessarily organizations that a national FIU should consider becoming a member of, although they may have some relevance or influence on the AML/CTF field. Option B describes the Wolfsberg Group, which is an association of 13 global banks that was formed in 2000 to develop standards and guidance for the financial industry on AML/CTF and other financial crime issues. The Wolfsberg Group is not an organization for FIUs, but rather for financial institutions. Option C describes the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), which is an inter-governmental body that was established in 1989 to set the international standards and recommendations for AML/CTF and to monitor the compliance and effectiveness of its members and other jurisdictions. The FATF is not an organization for FIUs, but rather for governments and policy-makers. Option D describes the Basel Committee, which is a forum of central bank governors and heads of banking supervision authorities from 28 jurisdictions that was established in 1974 to enhance the quality and consistency of banking supervision and regulation. The Basel Committee is not an organization for FIUs, but rather for banking regulators and supervisors.
