Strategic Agreement with the General Inspector of Financial Information
The Faculty of Law and Administration at the University of Warsaw and the General Inspector of Financial Information have signed a cooperation agreement, opening a new chapter in the development of education and research in the field of anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism.
We will soon launch a new postgraduate programme, "Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism" (also in cooperation with Urząd Komisji Nadzoru Finansowego). This will be a unique educational programme on the Polish market, combining the highest academic standards with the practical knowledge and experience of institutions responsible for the security of the state's financial system.
This agreement is historic. For the first time, such a broad platform for cooperation is being established between academia and key public institutions responsible for combating financial crime. A particular value of the programme will be the involvement of experts and practitioners from the Generalny Inspektor Informacji Finansowej, who are involved daily in detecting and combating money laundering and terrorist financing.
The studies constitute a unique undertaking, responding to the growing needs of the market, public administration, and the financial sector. Their aim will be to prepare highly qualified specialists capable of effectively identifying and mitigating threats related to financial crime and ensuring compliance with national and international AML/CFT regulations.
We are convinced that the joint initiative of WPiA UW, GIIF, and UKNF will become one of the most important training centres in this field in Poland, setting new standards for cooperation between science, public administration, and economic practice.
