By combining knowledge, expertise and strengths, we are better able to bring down financial crime and cope with new developments. Advancing technology is both a threat and an opportunity. Not only can we improve our investigative work, but it also makes organized crime increasingly sophisticated. Detecting financial crime is therefore an ongoing process that demands the utmost attention from our expertise and alertness day in, day out.
