Reflecting on a very engaging FATF week, the Egmont Group is delighted to announce that Egmont Group Chair, Elżbieta Franków-Jaśkiewicz, contributed to the Women in FATF and the Global Network (WFGN) initiative through its e-book, “Breaking Barriers: Inspiring the Next Generation of Women Leaders.” The e-book compiles insightful accounts from prominent leaders in the FATF and its Global Network, highlighting their experiences and challenges.
Elżbieta Franków-Jaśkiewicz says: “Women uniquely contribute two critical skills to the workplace: their innate creativity and flexibility. These qualities pair well with our current need to adapt and swiftly address new and emerging risks from rapidly evolving technology that underpins FinTech’s products and services.”
The Egmont Group is delighted that both the EG and FATF are now led by inspirational women leaders: Elżbieta Franków-Jaśkiewicz, May bint Mohamed AlKhalifa, Elisa de Anda Madrazo, and Violaine Clerc. We are committed to supporting women in leadership roles within our organization and globally, and we will continue to encourage women breaking barriers in the AML/CFT community.
In its capacity as an Observer, the EG also supported several essential AML/CFT initiatives during the week, including:
- Updating the NRA Guidance
- Amending Recommendation 16
- Enhancing the effectiveness of investigations and prosecutions under IO.7
- Amending FATF Methodology for Recommendations 4, 30, 31, 38, and 40
- Launching a new project on Tackling Online Sexual Abuse of Children
Our collaborative efforts drive positive change and help strengthen FIUs’ efforts in advancing AML/CFT initiatives.
