Abstract

The relevance of the work is determined by the growing role of financial monitoring in the risk management system and stress testing of banking institutions in view of increased regulatory requirements, global financial risks, and geopolitical instability. It is shown that financial monitoring is an important tool for combating money laundering, as well as a critical element in preventing financial, operational and reputational threats in the modern banking sector. The aim of the article is to improve financial monitoring tools in the risk management and stress testing system of banking institutions. It has been proven that the regulation of state financial monitoring is carried out because of formal and informal rules. Formal rules include regulatory acts, legislative initiatives, procedures and regulations that establish the procedure for monitoring financial transactions and activities of financial institutions. Assessing their effectiveness involves considering a number of factors that influence the real effect of these rules in different economic, legal and social contexts. Informal rules complement formal financial monitoring rules and contribute to their effective implementation. It is argued that despite certain difficulties related to corruption and the unification of legal norms, Ukraine has made significant steps towards integrating international standards into its financial system. Proposals have been developed for further cooperation with international organizations as a key factor in improving the national financial monitoring system and ensuring the stability and security of Ukraine's economic system in the international arena. It is substantiated that financial monitoring is an important element of the fight against financial crimes, as well as a fundamental tool for risk management of banking institutions. Its proper implementation allows the bank to act proactively, minimize losses, comply with regulatory requirements, and maintain a positive reputation in the national and international financial environment. It is shown that financial monitoring performs analytical, preventive, and diagnostic functions in the process of stress testing of banking institutions.
