Background information:
The PCU implements the project "Strengthening Financial Monitoring System Preparedness to Fight Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism Threats" in cooperation with the State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine. The Project addresses the needs of Ukraine’s financial monitoring system in fulfilling requirements of the anti-money laundering and countering financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) supervisory bodies (FATF, MONEYVAL) and responding to recent challenges in the fight against money laundering and financing of terrorism.
