At the start of 2020, we set out of strategic priorities for the subsequent four years, focusing on three core areas to:
- Build even more effective supervision
- Embed risk-focused choices in our work
- Strengthen our organisational resilience
While the year was dominated by the Covid-19 pandemic and our ongoing response to it, we still managed to progress our work in these areas, successfully delivering against most of the projects we set ourselves in our business plan for 2020.
| Key projects for 2020 | Goal | Build even more effective supervision | Embed risk-focused choices throughout our work | Strengthen our organisational resilience | Progress in 2020 |
| Strengthening our effectiveness at fighting the financial crime threat. | Implement FATF Recommendations and deliver effective AML/CFT supervision. |  |
|

Carried out an ambitious programme of financial crime compliance-focused examinations on 98 businesses.
