In a joint effort with the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs), ICAR has developed a new e-learning course for FIUs on analysing suspicious transaction reports (STRs). The course covers all stages from risk assessment of STRs, through planning and collection of information, to analysis and dissemination of intelligence to law enforcement agencies.

In a four-hour workshop session during the Egmont Group's 23rd Plenary Meeting in Bridgetown, Barbados, in mid-June, some twenty participants had the opportunity to test the pilot version of this new “Strategical Analysis” e-learning course.

The course will be made available on the Basel Institute's e-learning CAMPUS free of charge at the end of 2015, and can be used virtually or with the on-site assistance of an ICAR trainer.
