Typologies

The Financial Monitoring Service (FMS) develops relevant typologies in the framework of the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing. These typologies summarize the main schemes used in money laundering and terrorist financing. In accordance with international practice, typologies developed by FMS based on financial research analysis to improve the efficiency of detecting money laundering and terrorist financing schemes. Typologies mainly allow obliged entities, supervisors and law enforcement agencies to receive regular information on trends in money laundering and terrorist financing.
