The Egmont Group comprises various groups that oversee and/or contribute to its main operations and overall goal of strengthening information-sharing mechanisms among its members to combat money laundering, terrorist financing, and associated predicate crimes.
The Heads of FIU (HoFIU) are the Egmont Group’s main governing body. The HoFIU make consensus-driven decisions on matters affecting membership, structure, budget, and key principles. The HoFIU communicate regularly through the Egmont Secure Web and meet at least once a year during the Annual Egmont Group Plenary meeting.
The Egmont Committee (EC) is the consultation and coordination mechanism for the HoFIU and Working Groups. The EC’s primary functions include assisting the Egmont Group’s various activities, from internal coordination and administration to representation at international fora. The EC also oversees the Egmont Group Secretariat’s work and is comprised of both working group and regional group members.
The Egmont Group has four unique Working Groups with mandates to support member FIUs. The Working Groups are each led by a Chair and Vice-Chairs and include:
