Dedicated Online Financial Integrity Network

DOLFIN is a tech platform that equips financial integrity professionals with the continuing education, expert insights, resources and tools needed to protect the integrity of the global financial system.

Risk never rests

In recent years, financial crime, sanctions, and other illicit financing threats have expanded in scope, complexity, and importance—including across money laundering, terrorist financing, proliferation financing, transnational organized crime, and the evasion of sanctions and strategic trade controls. These threats are increasingly impacting the integrity and security of the international financial system.

It is more important than ever for government authorities, financial institutions, and vulnerable industries around the world to adopt or reinvigorate training programs to detect and manage these threats to help safeguard our financial system and collective security.
