Azizbek Khalmurzayev , Master’s Student, Law Enforcement Academy of the Republic of UzbekistanAbstract
Digital transformation of Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs) is examined as a strategic transition from a "document-driven workflow" to a managed flow of risk signals. This involves machine-readable formats for Suspicious Transaction Reports (STRs), automated data quality validation, risk scoring, and traceable routing of intelligence materials. The empirical part of the study details the implementation of the Department's "Markaz" software, designed for the ranking, processing, and analysis of STRs. Furthermore, it outlines the mechanism for automated cross-referencing against specific categories, including terrorist watchlists, wanted persons, and inquiries from foreign FIUs.
