The CIFIU is a member of the following international groups:<\/span><\/p>

Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering (APG)<\/span><\/a>\u00a0- from May 2001<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

As a member of the APG, the CIFIU actively participates in the AML\/CFT activities of the APG by providing experts for the mutual evaluation process, presenters on key issues at forums, as interveners and most recently as the Pacific Representative on the APG-FATF Ad-Hoc Working Group and on the APG Steering Group from July 2012 to July 2013.<\/span><\/p>

The Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units<\/span><\/a>\u00a0- from 2004<\/span><\/strong><\/p>

Recognising the benefits inherent in the development of FIU network, in 1995, a group of FIUs met at the Egmont Arenberg Palace in Brussels and decided to establish an informal group for the stimulation of international co-operation.\u00a0 Now known as the Egmont Group of Financial Intelligence Units, these FIUs meet regularly to find ways to cooperate, especially in the areas of information exchange, training and the sharing of expertise.<\/span><\/p>

The goal of the Egmont Group is to provide a forum for FIUs around the world to improve cooperation in the fight against money laundering and financing of terrorism and to foster the implementation of domestic programs in this field.<\/span><\/p>
