Caroline Pickering has been appointed as the new director of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), with her tenure starting on January 1. This decision follows the recommendation of the National Anti-Money Laundering Council.
Currently serving as the manager of policy and compliance at Fiji FIU, Pickering takes over from Razim Buksh, who retired earlier this year. Governor Arif Ali has expressed confidence in her leadership abilities, stating that she is well-suited to guide FIU through its next phase of growth.
With more than 25 years of experience in the field, Pickering brings a wealth of knowledge and strategic insight into the challenges posed by Fiji’s increasingly digital financial environment. She initially joined FIU in 2006, where she played a crucial role in shaping the regulatory and supervisory framework aimed at combating money laundering and financial crimes.
Her appointment is a positive development for the FIU, as her extensive experience and proven capabilities position her to effectively address evolving financial challenges in Fiji. This change in leadership heralds a promising step forward in enhancing the nation’s financial integrity and security.
