The Financial Intelligence Analysis Unit (FIAU) is a Maltese government agency established under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (Cap. 373 of the Laws of Malta). Its primary mission is to safeguard Malta's financial sectors from abuse related to money laundering and the financing of terrorism (ML/FT). The FIAU acts as the national Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) and is also the single supervisory authority for Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) in Malta. Its functions include analysing suspicious transaction reports, supervising subject persons (such as banks, financial institutions, and gaming companies) for compliance with AML/CFT obligations, providing guidance, and cooperating with national and international authorities.
