Financial Investigations Tool – Finance Against Slavery and Trafficking

The FAST Financial Investigations Tool was developed with the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) to compile guidance on good practice in conducting financial investigations into modern slavery and human trafficking, helping financial sector actors get started.

There has been a proliferation of red flag and indicator lists and other financial investigation tools in recent years, intended to help financial entities identify signs of modern slavery and human trafficking. Working with the Financial Sector Commission, the OSCE compiled, analyzed and integrated this guidance to provide a synthesized Financial Investigations Tool, comprising:

A compendium of resources reviewing 22 documents published in five continents and indexed to identify almost 600 different indicators in 57 categories.
Synthesized guidance on how to conduct financial investigations into modern slavery and human trafficking.

The guidance was published in November 2019 and will be piloted in OSCE Member States in coming months.
