M. Andronova, General Director of the ITMCFM:
– The first Financial Security Olympiad has set a high level of organization, and this year we would like to do better and to eliminate all the deficiencies of the last year, however insignificant and understandable they might be. We would be happy to increase the number of the Olympiad participants, and we welcome anyone who wants to join us. In this regard, we should pay particular attention to providing sufficient information to Russian and foreign students about the Olympiad, as well as to placing all necessary information on our resources.
V. Ovchinnikov, First Deputy Director General of the ITMCFM – Director of the International Network AML/CFT Institute:
– I would like to give credit to the heads and employees of our universities, Rosfinmonitoring Interregional Departments and financial intelligence units of the participating countries for the fact that last year everything was conducted in a very organized manner and within the prescribed time limits. That is why in 2022 each participating university will independently determine the organization policy of the qualifying stage and submit the lists of finalists agreed with Rosfinmonitoring Interregional Departments and financial intelligence units of the participating countries to the Olympiad Executive Committee.
