01In brief

The short answer.

Financial Crime and Fraud Risk is a specialist platform of The Global Risks Alliance for financial stability, cyber and digital resilience, and governance and institutions. Its mandate covers financial crime controls, fraud patterns, institutional integrity and protection of customers. GRA publishes it, answers for its content and takes no decision on anyone's behalf. It is in development at service level R0, and activities open as each is ready.

Mandate to authority.

Canvas · mandate to authorityDesign, not a record
How Financial Crime and Fraud Risk is governedA mandate sets the platform's scope; an editor and reviewers govern what it publishes; programmes and the community supply the work; the integrity route handles corrections; authority over decisions stays outside. Design of the governance, not a record.
