CENTRE FOR FINANCE AND SECURITY

The Centre for Finance and Security (CFS) specialises in the intersection of
finance and global security.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our analysis and actionable ideas aim to challenge the status quo and build
resilience in the global response to illicit finance. Our work covers a range of
state- and non-state-based security threats, which we examine through a
financial lens across two primary areas:

 * Financial Crime Policy: focusing on the development and implementation of
   effective anti-financial crime policies and regulation both in the UK and
   internationally; as well as engaging with global policy bodies such as the
   FATF and UNCAC.
    
 * Sanctions, State Threats and Economic Security: examining the financial
   dimension of state threats and the weaponisation of finance as a tool of
   international statecraft in an increasingly fragmented geopolitical
   landscape, through the analysis of evolving trends and responses such as
   sanctions and the expanding focus on economic security.

Since the centre’s inception in 2014, the world of finance and security has
expanded and become more complex. Terrorist financing has become tech-enabled,
fraud and money laundering are more organised and transnational, the advance of
cryptocurrencies has unlocked a new dimension for illicit finance, and the
financial dimension of state threats is becoming more prominent at a time of
fragmenting geopolitics.

Alongside our evidence-based research that provides solutions to some of the
biggest challenges in the finance and security landscape, CFS also has a unique
ability to convene policymakers, industry leaders, academics, and experts. This
allows them to develop new networks and bring fresh perspectives to the key
finance and security issues that the world is currently facing.

CFS experts are regularly called on to advise governments and international
bodies, including the UN Security Council, the Financial Action Task Force, the
UK and European Parliaments, and US Congress. Through our public engagements and
events, we aim to highlight to wider audiences the pivotal role of finance in
global security; and put our evidence-based research into practice through
capacity-building and collaborative workshops.

   quote
   
   Tom Keatinge , director of the Centre for Financial Crime and Security
   Studies at the Royal United Services Institute, said: “This looks like an
   early opportunity for the new UK government to clearly indicate its strategy
   towards China. “On the one hand, it will want to avoid blanket ‘de-risking’,
   on the other hand, it needs to ensure that national security is prioritised.
   With the change in US President, getting this balancing act right will only
   get harder.”

 * Anti-Money Launderingquote
   
   quote
   
   Ukraine’s supporters say it’s proof that the body is “fractured” and unable
   to react to global crises. “Like all multilateral organizations in this day
   and age, the FATF is fractured in matters of geopolitics,” said Tom Keatinge,
   the director of the center for finance and security at the Royal United
   Services Institute. “If international bodies like the U.N. and the FATF won't
   take action then the U.S., EU and other countries that reject the sort of
   illegal action taken by Russia will need to press much harder with sanctions.
   It's time to take the gloves off,” Keatinge added.

 * Anti-Money Launderingquote
   
   quote
   
   Blacklisting Russia would have sent a strong symbolic message about the
   international community’s support for Ukraine, Tom Keatinge, director of the
   Center for Finance and Security at the Royal United Services Institute
   (RUSI), a London-based research group, told the Kyiv Independent. “In
   practical terms, it would also force the financial system (both banks and
   their regulators) of countries that remain bafflingly indifferent to the
   Kremlin's murderous activity to pay attention to the transactions they are
   handling,” he added.
