News 2025-04-11 16:00:00 “The support of European partners remains key for Ukraine. We demonstrate constant work in strengthening the European integration course. I had the opportunity to inform the EU Delegation in Ukraine about the work of the SFMS in more detail,” said Philip Pronin.    Among the main objectives are: personnel reboot and increasing the number of financial investigations units; introducing new algorithms for detecting money laundering and other financial crimes; expanding access to new sources of information and searching for additional sources of funding; strengthening cooperation with government agencies; and synchronizing with the EU legislation.   “Our main goal now is to improve the quality of investigations. We want to perform a deeper analysis, identify more risks, and improve the quantitative and qualitative indicators of our work. We expect the support and assistance of European partners in improving the efficiency of the SFMS. Financial security is the key to the sustainable development of European countries, including Ukraine,” Philip Pronin added. /en/pages/dijalnist/funkcional/news/FilipPronin786.html “I met with our permanent partners YouControl.

News 2025-04-09 16:15:00 “I met with our permanent partners YouControl. This cooperation is an example of an effective partnership between government and business. It is very valuable that our Ukrainian companies develop their unique products and constantly improve them to contribute to the development of our country. By working together, we are creating a transparent and secure financial environment in Ukraine”, Philip Pronin said.  The analysts of the SFMS have been using YouControl analytical systems in their work for about ten years. This also allows the experts of the SFMS to provide feedback on their work with such tools. For their part, they share certain knowledge so that the company can continue to improve its products. “We want to deepen our cooperation, in particular for further exchange of experience. We are grateful to YouControl for the years of fruitful cooperation, and we hope that we will only strengthen it in the future,” Philip Pronin added. /en/pages/dijalnist/funkcional/news/FilipPronin545.html “Today we had a substantive meeting with representatives of the European Union Advisory Mission (EUAM).

News 2025-04-07 17:30:00 “Today we had a substantive meeting with representatives of the European Union Advisory Mission (EUAM). We discussed a number of important issues, in particular, how to improve financial investigations with the participation of the SFMS. The main topics included alignment with the EU acquis, establishing cooperation with liaison officers present in Ukraine and new tools for obtaining information,” Philip Pronin said. The use of digital technologies and automated data processing systems allows the SFMS to significantly reduce the time spent on analytical work and increase efficiency. This helps to identify suspicious financial transactions and track the connections between people, companies and financial transactions. The SFMS is now focused on expanding the channels for obtaining information, as different financial investigations are conducted by their nature. In this regard, the SFMS is relying on the support of international partners.  “We are grateful to our colleagues for the constructive dialogue. We look forward to a long and productive cooperation with our international partners,” Philip Pronin added. /en/pages/dijalnist/funkcional/news/filippronin132.html The SFMS has signed the MOU with the FIU of Iceland.

News 2025-04-02 14:30:00 The SFMS has signed the MOU with the FIU of Iceland. The concluded MOU provides for the exchange of financial information on the proceeds of crime and terrorist financing. “This MOU is the 86th international agreement between the SFMS and foreign FIUs. We continue to work systematically to gain access to new sources of information. We are also working on MOUs with the FIUs of the Seychelles Islands and the Bahamas,” Philip Pronin said. Cooperation with partners in the international arena demonstrates Ukraine’s readiness to further strengthen the fight against financial crimes. /en/pages/dijalnist/funkcional/news/filippronin878.html The SFMS’ experts process large amounts of information every day, analyse cash flows and suspicious transactions in order to timely identify threats to the economic security.

News 2025-03-31 15:15:00 The SFMS’ experts process large amounts of information every day, analyse cash flows and suspicious transactions in order to timely identify threats to the economic security. To increase its efficiency, the SFMS works with various modern technologies, and later plans to use artificial intelligence in its work. Currently, we search for donors to finance new tools. “We discussed with our Polish partners the possibility to involve the platform they developed in the work of the SFMS. Artificial intelligence tools will allow us to analyse data, use their functionality in conducting money laundering investigations, and investigate suspicious transactions and relationships. Due to work with such platforms, we will be able to improve the efficiency of analytical work and strengthen the process of automating the receipt and transmission of data,” Filip Pronin said. Counteraction to money laundering and terrorist financing ensures the integrity of the country’s financial system. The SFMS is working hard on this.   /en/pages/dijalnist/funkcional/news/filippronin3456.html “Today, Ukraine faces a number of challenges, including counteraction to corruption and money laundering.

News 2025-03-26 15:30:00 “Today, Ukraine faces a number of challenges, including counteraction to corruption and money laundering. We discussed the importance of work in these areas with the Head of the European Union Anti-Corruption Initiative (EUACI) Mr Allan Pagh Kristensen. The main focus is the alignment of the Ukrainian legislation with the EU acquis,” Filip Pronin said. European partners help the SFMS to create a sustainable, transparent and accountable financial system that will meet the best EU standards. The key to such cooperation is the exchange of experience and knowledge that will help improve the efficiency of the service. “Cooperation of state institutions with international partners helps Ukraine to demonstrate decisive action on the topic of financial cleanliness and brings us closer to European standards of transparency,” Filip Pronin added. /en/pages/dijalnist/funkcional/news/Proninfilip5643.html The issue of financial transparency is key to the stable development of the state.

News 2025-03-14 17:15:00 The issue of financial transparency is key to the stable development of the state. Illegal financial schemes, tax evasion, legalization of proceeds and hidden conversion pose a serious threat to the country’s economic security. “The SFMS, together with law enforcement agencies, revealed a scheme that included the provision of illegal services by a “professional network” to a group of companies aimed at tax evasion, income legalization and hidden conversion of non-cash funds into cash. Wholesalers and retailers of tobacco products, food and beverages were involved in the implementation of these schemes,” Filip Pronin said. It is previously known that the enterprises carried out multi-million financial transactions. The case referrals have been provided to law enforcement agencies for further investigation. A comprehensive approach and effective counteraction to illegal financial schemes will help ensure economic stability, business transparency and sustainable development of the country. /en/pages/dijalnist/funkcional/news/Proninfilip1458.html The State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine is establishing cooperation with various institutions.

News 2025-03-12 15:15:00 The State Financial Monitoring Service of Ukraine is establishing cooperation with various institutions.

Over the past week, a number of new agreements on cooperation have been signed with the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy, the State Agency of Forest Resources of Ukraine, the State Service of Maritime and Inland Water Transport and Shipping of Ukraine. “Our main goal is to increase the efficiency of analysing information on financial transactions subject to financial monitoring and identifying relevant risks.

We are united by a common desire to work transparently and to support the financial security of the country.
