Institute for Financial Technologies and Economic Security (IFTES) was established in January 2006 on the initiative of the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Viktor Zubkov. The goal of the Institute has been to provide high-quality training in the interests of national and international systems for combating the legalization (laundering) of criminal proceeds and terrorism financing.

Training of specialists requires interdisciplinary knowledge in the field of information technology, economics and law. That determined the decision to place such research and educational unit within MEPhI infrastructure – to provide students with fundamental science education as a methodological basis for analytical thinking.

The curriculum of IFTES academic programs, along with natural science disciplines, includes:

  • advanced training in information technology;
  • economic education necessary for the analysis of financial reporting of banks and legal entities;
  • business education in management and decision making, investment and the securities market, competitive intelligence technologies;
  • legal framework for financial and economic security and combating money laundering and terrorist financing; special linguistic training.

The interdisciplinarity of education allows IFTES MEPhI graduates to adapt easily to rapid changing business environment.
