I T strategy formulation

15. Information Technology has a significant role in offering critical and fundamental support to all aspects of working of FIU. IT strategic plan improves key stakeholders’ understanding of IT opportunities and limitations, assesses current performance, identifies capacity and human resource requirements, and clarifies the level of investment required. The business strategy and priorities are to be reflected in portfolios and executed by the IT tactical plan(s), which specifies concise objectives, action plans and tasks that are understood and accepted by both business and IT (refer FD14.01 - Define a strategic IT plan). After understanding current IT capabilities, engagement with business and senior management is required to align IT strategic planning with current and future business needs.

16. In case of a newly set up FIU, sample prioritisation scheme for improving maturity is as under:

Phase I (0- 2 years) FD01 - Collection of reports FD02 - Access to information FD05 - Operational analysis FD07 - Domestic cooperation FD08 - International cooperation FD09 - Registration of reporting officer FD10 - Capacity building of reporting entities FD15 - Information security management Phase II (2-5 years) FD06 - Strategic analysis FD11 - Managing compliance of reporting entities Phase III (after 5 years) FD03 - Processing of information FD04 - Detection of new targets FD12 - Performance management FD13 - Information management FD14 - Technical infrastructure management

17. FIU may evaluate the business requirements, technological direction and information architecture to prioritise acquisition of technology. Sample prioritisation scheme for acquisition of technology is given below:
