What is it about?
Increasingly, banks and government agencies are collaborating to fight financial crime in Australia and elsewhere. There are opportunities to improve the tools and techniques used for financial intelligence and investigation in law enforcement and the private sector. This article looks at how this can be done, focusing on three main areas; data analytics, information-sharing and the law of financial crime.

Why is it important?
This work is a collaboration between an experienced financial investigator in government and a data analytics professional in the private sector. It highlights the common ground between government agencies and banks where financial crime is concerned, and offers some constructive suggestions on how to improve real-world financial crime outcomes in both sectors.
Perspectives
This article was important for me because it was an opportunity to draw on my background in intelligence and my interest in the law of financial crime. I strongly believe that financial crime compliance needs to be grounded in actual cases and real-world financial crime events. I also believe that governments and banks can collaborate effectively in this space, and the article is a practical demonstration of this principle at work.
