Ideathon on Financial Crime

On October 12, 2024, the CFI, the Center for Finance and Security (CFS) at RUSI, and the NGO “Public Diplomacy Platform” organised the Ideathon within the project  Financial Integrity Platform – Young Leaders Chapter (FIP-YLC).

Throughout the summer of 2024, FIP-YLC held several meetings in Kyiv, Lviv, Chernihiv, and Vinnytsia, as well as online events for regions close to the frontlines. The discussions focused on the role of youth in strengthening the integrity of the financial system and addressing challenges and new trends, such as the emergence of virtual assets.

The Ideathon was the culmination of meetings and discussions within the FIP-YLC.During this intensive one-day event, participants tackled pressing financial integrity challenges under the guidance of international expert Olivia Allison, a CFI Advisory Board member with over 15 years of experience in global investigations and fostering integrity within governmental and international organisations.

22 young leaders participated, collaborating in teams to propose innovative approaches to tackling financial crime. The projects were evaluated by an expert jury, consisting of:

  • Olena Korobkova – banking economist, head of the League of Banks of Ukraine;
  • Oleksandr Pohorilo – Head of the Center for Advanced Training of Employees of State Bodies and International Cooperation of the Academy of Financial Monitoring;
  • Lyubov Velychko – investigative journalist.


The winners, Ustym Podola and Lyubomyr Kostyrko from Lviv, developed a project focusing on combating money laundering through individual entrepreneurs (ФОП) and improving the tax system, earning them the well-deserved victory and the opportunity to attend the FinSec25 conference in London in February 2025.

The Ideathon marks another milestone in promoting financial integrity in Ukraine, empowering young leaders, and nurturing future champions in the fight against financial crime.
