Economic crime has an immense fiscal and societal impact on our communities, exposing citizens, governments and business to ruthless criminal networks. Disrupting this threat requires a co-ordinated collective response.
The global pandemic and rising geopolitical tensions have brought urgency to tackling this threat, by placing a spotlight on kleptocracy and revealing the sophistication of criminal networks exploiting the gaps within COVID-19 emergency responses.
Though the public and private sectors have invested billions towards combating these crimes, tackling financial crimes continues to be a huge and complex challenge for the system.
The scale of illicit financial activity is vast and tackling it will require a coordinated collective response in which governments, financial institutions and companies work together to develop and implement effective solutions.
Deloitte’s Illicit Finance programme convenes key stakeholders from the private and public sectors to collaborate on building impactful strategies to fight financial crime. As part of this programme, Deloitte have established the Forum for Tackling Illicit Finance to develop crucial insights and work with leading industry organisations, to help strengthen global resilience and disrupt the flow of illicit finance.
Working with governments, financial institutions and companies, the Illicit Finance programme and the Forum for Tackling Illicit Finance offer actionable insights and guidance that can enable organisations to navigate the complex nature of financial crime and take action to protect society.
