Financial crimes, including tax crimes, threaten the strategic, political and economic interests of all countries and undermine confidence in the global financial system. East Asia FIU have deployed artificial intelligence to work closely with nations to ensure flows of funds for humanitarian assistance, legitimate NPO activity. FIU is a specialised intelligence gathering unit, with its own offices and staff. It is an administrative type FIU with analytical functions. These functions are separate and distinct from investigative functions which are carried out by Law Enforcement Authorities.
