Seminar Big Data Analytics for Money Laundering Detection

Considering the importance of using Big Data in Combating Money Laundering, the APU PPT Education and Training Center is again here to hold 
a seminar entitled Using Big Data Analytics for Money Laundering Detection on Thursday, 10 February 2022. The seminar which was conducted 
online and face-to-face with approximately 800 participants from reporting parties, supervisory and regulatory agencies, law enforcement 
officers, and internal PPATK was held at the APU PPT Training Center Building, Depok.



The seminar was opened by the Head of the Anti-Money Laundering and Prevention of Terrorism Financing Education and Training Center, 
Mr. Akhyar Effendi and followed by a keynote speech from the Head of the Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (PPATK), 
Bpk. Ivan Yustiavandana. In his speech he said “The use of digital technology by money launderers is a challenge that needs to be addressed 
immediately by all parties, one of which is by using big data analytics. Big data analytics is not only used to reveal a crime but can 
also predict an event through processing large volumes of data, both linear and non-linear data from different sources so that it can 
detect anomalies quickly.

The breadth of opportunities to conduct digital transactions through various electronic payment facilities has resulted in a very 
complex ecosystem and increasingly difficult to identify and trace suspicious financial transactions, thus triggering a high volume 
of transaction data so that monitoring suspicious transaction patterns will be difficult to detect if only relying on traditional tools.
For this reason, it is necessary to have a common goal and commitment from all stakeholders in the APU PPT Regime to collaborate and 
synergize, creating a database that is assembled into valuable information to prevent various economic crimes. For PPATK and law 
enforcement, big data tools can be used to map and visualize so that they can provide a more complete picture of the flow of illegal 
funds and identify geographic areas, industries, channels and parties suspected of being involved in a crime.
The holding of this seminar is a form of increasing the capability of the APU PPT Regime's human resources in Indonesia, as well as 
part of a series of 20th Anniversary of PPATK's work to create a clean Indonesia without money laundering and terrorism financing. 
In addition to the seminar, there was also the inauguration of the Learning Management System (LMS) of the APUPPT Education 
and Training Center as a virtual and independent education and training platform. In this seminar, Pusdiklat invited Gie Kian Siauw, 
Senior Vice President Development – ​​Data Analytics at Blibli.com to discuss what we can get from Big Data, then there is Paku Utama, 
Founder of PT. Wikrama Utama with the topic 'Utilizing Big Data Analytics in the APUPPT Program', and from PPATK itself there is 
Beren Rukur Ginting as Coordinator of the PPATK Proactive Corruption Sector Analysis and Examination Substance Group, who will 
discuss 'Big Data Analytics in the FIU Analysis Perspective'. (ANS)
