Methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of interagency cooperation and the implementation of regulatory and preventive measures in the sphere of combating money laundering and terrorist financing

This article explores approaches to assessing the effectiveness of interagency cooperation mechanisms within the national anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) framework across the Russian Federation. A modern AML/CTF system is based on the establishment of a unified legal, institutional, and operational platform that facilitates effective collaboration among federal executive authorities. The primary focus is on the identification, prevention, and suppression of financial crimes through enhanced coordination and communication among all stakeholders of the national AML/CTF system. The institutional structure and interaction mechanisms of this system are designed with consideration of the specific features and risks of the financial sector, enabling the integration of resources, expertise, and capabilities to improve both the overall oversight of financial institutions and the supervision of AML/CTF measures. Furthermore, the integration of supervisory functions with financial intelligence operations strengthens financial monitoring capabilities, ensuring a timely response to identified risks of money laundering and terrorist financing.
