Shared understanding of financial crime and fraud.
The platform exists to build shared industry understanding of financial crime controls, fraud patterns, institutional integrity and customer protection, through research and learning that no single institution can produce alone.
Scope
Financial stability, cyber and digital resilience, and governance and institutions.
Who takes part
Financial crime analysts, fraud specialists and compliance researchers.
What it is designed to publish
Fraud research briefs and financial integrity learning.
How crime exploits physical, operational, technological and systemic change.
| Risk class | Channel | Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Physical | Disasters create relief payments and urgent needs that fraudsters target | FATF Recommendations; humanitarian payment safeguards |
| Operational | Weak onboarding and monitoring in new programmes | Customer due diligence requirements |
| Technological | Account takeover, impersonation, synthetic identity, mule networks | Payment transparency under revised Recommendation 16 |
| Systemic | Loss of trust in payment channels; de-risking that cuts remittance corridors | FATF and FSB work on de-risking |
What the platform is designed to produce.
Typology briefs from public sources, control checklists for programmes that move money and scenario designs, designed for the Evidence Brief series of Reports. Boundary. GRA investigates no case, screens no person, names no suspect and gives no legal or compliance advice.
Who is responsible.
Global Risks Alliance (GRA) publishes Financial Crime and Fraud Risk and answers for its content under the rules in trust, rights and status.
- Status: Financial Crime and Fraud Risk is an established platform. Activities, records and services are published as each one opens.
- Open for information and enquiries. Membership and applications open only once their terms are adopted.
- Why a dedicated platform: the integrity and fraud community has its own methods and evidence, distinct from generic banking or conduct law.
- Participation, sponsorship or membership confers no authority, endorsement, data access or influence over findings.
What the platform does not do.
- It does not lend, underwrite, rate, invest, advise on or arrange transactions, introduce counterparties or take transaction-based pay.
- GRA is not a law enforcement body, financial intelligence unit or regulator. It does not investigate cases, receive reports of suspicious activity, screen customers or hold customer data.
- It gives no legal or compliance advice to any firm and does not perform members' own financial crime controls for them.
- Its programmes are designed around competition-law safeguards, set out in a written competition policy; see compliance and competition at the Financial Regulation Nexus.
GRA is a nonprofit business league for the financial services industry. It does not lend, underwrite, rate, invest, advise on or arrange transactions, and readiness work is not approval.
