  • Research. Conducting international comparative research into the

role of public-private financial information-sharing partnerships in detecting, preventing and disrupting crime. (publicly available, policy- focused) 2) ‘Start-up’ support. Supporting workshops and public/private dialogue in jurisdictions considering establishing public/private partnership approaches to sharing information for financial crime/AML 3) Knowledge exchange. Supporting knowledge-exchange between advanced public/private financial information-sharing partnerships about key challenges and opportunities facing the PPP models.

Impacts reported/recorded:

  • An increase in the number of suspicious reports addressing

threats prioritised by the partnership.

  • More timely and relevant reporting in response to active

investigations or live incidents.

  • Improved quality and utility of suspicious reporting.
  • Improved law enforcement outcomes supporting investigations,

prosecutions, asset recovery or other disruption of criminal networks.

  • The development of a more collaborative culture between public

agencies and regulated entities.

  • Heightened risk awareness in the private sector.
  • Increased understanding in the public sector about complex

financial issues or services and their vulnerabilities to abuse.

However, the scale is small

  • Dominated by human / in-person interaction
  • Slow transfer of information
  • Small numbers of private sector members involved
  • Limited reach into non-banking sectors
  • Limited public sector resourcing of partnership efforts
  • A limited operational bandwidth for processing cases

Unlocking mainstream compliance resources Realising policy objectives and providing certainty Expanding the volume of information flow and analysis Enabling membership growth Protecting the wider community from harm Informing the resilience of the wider community Empowering strategic decision making Ensuring the sustainability of partnership approaches

Supervision Legislation Technology Information security Risk-displacement Knowledge management Performance data Public consent and accountability

Discussion questions…

1. What are the barriers and opportunities for public/private financial information-sharing partnerships to grow? 2. Should more sectors outside of banking be involved in public/private partnership efforts to disrupt crime and, if so, how? 3. Should public/private financial information-sharing partnerships be recognised and incentivised by supervisors? 4. What privacy implications arise from the work of the information- sharing partnerships? 5. How can the use of technology increase the effectiveness of partnership operations?

In the next 12 months, FFIS will convene public/private dialogue and research events

  • n the topic of

financial information sharing partnerships in:

17 jurisdictions

…and host

2 international

conferences

New study: Privacy preserving analytics

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Privacy preserving analytics

1. Privacy-preserving analysis may allow for access to federated data across financial institutions, without any participant divulging their underlying data. 2. Results from computations, indicators and analytics could be analysed, without the underlying data being disclosed or shared. 3. The same technology can ensure that the data owner does not have visibility over the search query, with the query and the results remaining encrypted and only visible to the requester. These capabilities have the potential to support information-sharing to enhance (for example):

  • Public–private domestic sharing
  • Private to private domestic sharing
  • Public–public, public–private and private–private sharing cross-border

‘The Role of Privacy Preserving Data Analytics in the Detection and Prevention of Financial Crime’

Setting out recommendations for policymakers and private sector leaders. Target countries: In the research stages, this study would engage with the following jurisdictions: the UK, the U.S., Canada, The Netherlands and Australia.
