FIU (Financial Intelligence Unit)

When to Use

Run FIU operations: alert queues, case assignment, triage, and investigation lifecycle
Perform financial analysis on suspicious activity—flows, networks, counterparties, products, corridors
Document case files with facts, chronology, hypotheses tested, and disposition rationale
Prepare MLRO escalation packs—fact summaries, open questions, recommendation options (not filing decisions)
Apply typology-driven analysis (structuring, layering, mule, trade-based ML, VASP/crypto patterns)
Coordinate with transaction monitoring, second-line compliance, and investigations (fraud, security)
Support internal FIU reporting—backlog, SLA, quality metrics, management information (not regulator filing advice)
Run quality assurance, peer review, and case reconstruction for audits or lessons learned
Design handover, training, and playbook updates from closed cases and tuning feedback
Integrate adverse media context at a high level (route deep NLP/sentiment pipelines elsewhere)
