The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of
Canada is a little-known organization, but it is playing a key role in the fight
against ISIL in Iraq and Syria. According to an article by The
Globe and Mail, “The agency’s access to information about banking and other
financial transactions allows it to see links between people and groups in
Canada and abroad that support terrorist activities.” The agency made 234
disclosures to security officials last year for instances related to terrorist
financing or national security threats. This marks a 450% increase from
2008.
