Financial Intelligence (FININT)

Supporting many critical missions with one discipline

Financial threats to national and economic security are constantly growing and evolving. That’s why financial intelligence (FININT) is indispensable for diverse missions across the intelligence community (IC), the Department of Treasury, the Department of Defense (DOD), law enforcement, civil regulatory agencies, and the banking industry.

A broad set of organizations prosecute missions combating financial crime, illicit finance, threat finance, fraud, or economic national security risks. The nation uses insights gained through FININT to thwart terrorism, criminal activity, and drug trafficking, protect human rights and democracy abroad, and implement sanctions. The financial services sector also uses FININT to counter risks like sanctions evasion, fraud, organized crime, narcotics, and cybercrime.

The amount of financial data now available for analysis is unprecedented. For any given mission, organizations need to ingest and analyze large volumes of data from an evolving set of disparate sources, in an information environment that is rapidly changing. At Booz Allen, we’re uniquely positioned to help the full range of FININT clients surmount such hurdles.
