About financial intelligence units

The Egmont Group is the coordinating body for the international group of financial intelligence units (FIUs). It was formed in 1995 to promote and enhance international cooperation in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing. The Group, with a membership that has grown to more than one hundred FIUs, has recently taken an important step in establishing a new permanent Secretariat located in Toronto, Canada.
