FIU Engages Lawyers Through the Fiji Law Society to Raise Awareness on Money Laundering Risks

Wednesday, 18/02/2026
The Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) recently engaged members of the Fiji Law Society in a presentation titled “Understanding Money Laundering Risks: Safeguarding Lawyers Against Vulnerabilities.”
 
The virtual presentation was attended by 82 participants. Key discussion points included:
  • Understanding the key risks and vulnerabilities in the legal sector; and
  • Importance of vigilance in protecting the profession from exploitation.
 
By engaging lawyers through the Fiji Law Society, FIU reinforced the critical role of the legal profession as gatekeepers in the fight against financial crime. The collaboration highlights the shared responsibility of regulators and practitioners in upholding trust and integrity across Fiji’s legal and financial systems.
