Technical Assistance and Training Working Group (TATWG)

The TATWG is responsible for identifying, developing, and delivering technical assistance and training to Egmont Group members and candidate FIUs, in conjunction with Observer organizations and international partners.

The TATWG’s goal is to provide a forum for Egmont Group FIUs, Observers, and designated guests, increase the effectiveness of Egmont Group members and other FIUs by offering opportunities to enhance skills, knowledge, and expertise through broad-based training, research, and other capacity-building initiatives.

The TATWG develops quality training packages and follows up on current training projects. Additionally, the TATWG organizes and implements breakout and training sessions at major Egmont Group events, other specific Egmont Group training opportunities as well as other events when required.

The TATWG also organizes the Best Egmont Case Award (BECA). The BECA is an annual contest designed to encourage Egmont Group members to contribute to the Group’s money laundering and terrorist financing case database to benefit FIUs and AML/CFT stakeholders.
