Council of Europe Report: Money laundering and terrorism financing trends in MONEYVAL jurisdictions during the COVID-19 crisis
The report contains information on pandemic-related typologies and notes that most countries reported that due to pandemic and remote working FI and DNFBP supervisors experienced challenges in conducting on-site supervisions. Onsite controls have been postposed, the authorities favouring off-site and desk-based reviews. The supervisors’ efforts have been placed in ensuring that the off-site supervisory activities are maintained and, when possible, reinforced.
For sensitive information, such as client file reviews, the authorities have opted to either receive client files through a secure cloud portal or other electronic means or reviewing these documents remotely e.g. through the shared screen facility offered by video conferencing.
