The Supervisory and Financial Information Authority (Autorità di Supervisione e Informazione Finanziaria, or ASIF) is the central institution in the Holy See and Vatican City State that is responsible for the prevention and countering of money laundering, terrorist financing and the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (AML/CFT/CPT). It is the central authority for supervision and regulation in these matters,^[1] both in relation to the obliged entities (i.e. the entities who, due to the activities they carry out, are subject to the obligations set out in the AML/CFT/CPT legislation) and the reporting entities (i.e. entities who, under Vatican law, are required to report suspicious activities). With regard to obliged entities, there is only one such entity in the jurisdiction – the Istituto per le Opere di Religione – while the reporting entities consist of every legal entity with a registered office in the Vatican City State and all the Institutions of the Roman Curia. The Authority also contains the jurisdiction's financial intelligence unit, which is responsible for acquiring and analyzing the suspicious activity reports submitted by reporting entities, making use of internal and international collaboration ^[2](the Authority is a member of the Egmont Group^[3]). Furthermore, ASIF is also the central authority for the supervision and prudential regulation of entities that professionally carry out financial activities^[4] (to date, exclusively the Istituto per le Opere di Religione).

The AIF has its seat in Palazzo San Carlo, Vatican City, close to Domus Sanctae Marthae.
