On 22 September 2021 the association under Swiss law under the name "The Wolfsberg Group" was founded in Basel. The Wolfsberg Group's goal has been to develop  financial industry  standards in the private sector for  anti-money laundering  (AML),  know your customer  (KYC) and  counter terrorist financing  (CTF) policies. Its work

146-482: A centralized location. They are named after the Planet aggregator , a server application designed for this purpose. Feed aggregation applications are installed on a PC, smartphone or tablet computer and designed to collect news and interest feed subscriptions and group them together using a user-friendly interface. The graphical user interface of such applications often closely resembles that of popular e-mail clients , using

219-559: A comparative process between methodologies. In order for a "best practice" to be valid, it must take into account all relevant approaches, since neglecting to do so would lead to inappropriate usage of the term "best." Comparing sample practices may yield a good practice, but may also be altogether unreliable, depending on how the sample was selected. There are many examples of the use of best/smart practice evaluations in Public Policy. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) produces

292-523: A consolidated view of the content in one browser display or desktop application. "Desktop applications offer the advantages of a potentially richer user interface and of being able to provide some content even when the computer is not connected to the Internet. Web-based feed readers offer the great convenience of allowing users to access up-to-date feeds from any Internet-connected computer." Although some applications will have an automated process to subscribe to

365-439: A delivery mechanism for websites to push online content to potential users and as an information aggregator and filter for users." However, it has been pointed out that in order to push the content RSS should be user-friendly to ensure proactive interaction so that the user can remain engaged without feeling "trapped", good design to avoid being overwhelmed by stale data, and optimization for both desktop and mobile use. RSS has

438-594: A demonstration of presentation-independent data. A news aggregator provides and updates information from different sources in a systematized way. "Some news aggregator services also provide update services, whereby a user is regularly updated with the latest news on a chosen topic". Websites such as Google News , Yahoo News , Bing News , and NewsNow where aggregation is entirely automatic, using algorithms which carry out contextual analysis and group similar stories together. Websites such as Drudge Report and HuffPost supplement aggregated news headline RSS feeds from

511-452: A document called The Clean Energy-Environment Guide to Action , designed to share practices found to be successful and best by states, to determine what is most suitable for them to use in generating clean energy policies and programs. The guide includes 16 clean energy policies and programs that offer opportunities for states to save energy, improve air quality, lower greenhouse gas emission and increase economic development. An example of

584-793: A fixed set of rules or guidelines. This approach to best practice focuses on fostering improvements in quality and promoting continuous learning. STEM Program explanation is taken from Angela Baber's report to the NGA. The NGA has identified science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) as important skills that need to be developed in community colleges in order to create a strong workforce. Many states are creating or have created STEM Programs to address this issue. In order for these programs to work governors should: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) makes evidence-based recommendations on clinical preventive services. The Task Force recommendations are based on systematic reviews and assessment of

657-676: A joint initiative. They met and Mr. Aziz explained it would be more credible if Transparency International, rather than Citi, invited other leading banks to join Citi in exploring efforts to attain voluntary understandings by major banks to full enforce know-your-customer standards. A dinner was then organized in New York at Citi, co-hosted by Mr. Aziz and Mr. Vogl, was attended by representatives in New York of major banks, as well as then TI chairman Peter Eigen and then TI-USA board chairman Fritz Heimann. That meeting initiated discussions, led by Mr. Aziz and by

730-618: A level of acceptance by the community." Financing Clean Air Programs, and example taken from NGA This is a quick guide put together by the NGA Center for Best Practices. It explores what clean air programs currently exist and how they are being financed. Rather than stating one best practice to tackling clean air, this report creates a table of the different programs, how they are being financed, and in what state. Governors and their staffs can then look for characteristics and solutions that are most realistic and applicable to their situation. The key

803-991: A module separate from its service to support. In September 2003 the group published the Wolfsberg Monitoring Screening & Searching Principles , in March 2006 the Wolfsberg Managing Money Laundering Risks , in March 2011 the Wolfsberg Trade Finance Principles t hat were updated in collaboration with BAFT and the ICC in 2018, in October 2011 the Wolfsberg Guidance on Prepaid & Stored Value Cards , in 2012 the Wolfsberg Private Banking Principles , and in 2014

876-527: A news feed, the basic way to subscribe is by simply clicking on the web feed icon and/or text link. Aggregation features are frequently built into web portal sites, in the web browsers themselves, in email applications, or in application software designed specifically for reading feeds. Aggregators with podcasting capabilities can automatically download media files, such as MP3 recordings. In some cases, these can be automatically loaded onto portable media players (like iPods ) when they are connected to

949-490: A number of reputable mainstream and alternative news outlets, while including their own articles in a separate section of the website. News aggregation websites began with content selected and entered by humans, while automated selection algorithms were eventually developed to fill the content from a range of either automatically selected or manually added sources. Google News launched in 2002 using automated story selection, but humans could add sources to its search engine, while

1022-429: A real-time compilation of what is currently perceived as "hot" and popular on the Internet." Social news aggregators are based on engagement of community. Their responses, engagement level, and contribution to stories create the content and determine what will be generated as RSS feed. Media bias and framing are concepts that fundamentally explain deliberate or accidental differences in news coverage. A simple example

1095-415: A recommended practice that is best in all cases. Instead, he offers an alternative view, "contextual practice", in which the notion of what is "best" will vary with the context. Similarly, Cem Kaner and James Bach provide two scenarios to illustrate the contextual nature of "best practice" in their article. In essence, such critiques are consistent with the contingency theory , which was developed during

1168-399: A successful best practice from the guide is building codes for energy efficiency . This practice is to use building energy codes to set requirements that establish a minimum level of energy efficiency standards for residential and commercial buildings. California Energy Code Title 24 is one "best practice" that is highlighted in this guide. The following points for energy code implementation

1241-456: A three-panel composition in which subscriptions are grouped in a frame on the left, and individual entries are browsed, selected, and read in frames on the right. Software aggregators can also take the form of news tickers which scroll feeds like ticker tape , alerters that display updates in windows as they are refreshed, web browser macro tools or as smaller components (sometimes called plugins or extensions ), which can integrate feeds into

1314-619: A topic differently, or other features, such as matrix-based news aggregation, which spans a matrix over two dimensions, the first dimension being which country an article was published in, and the second being which country it is reporting on. Media aggregators are sometimes referred to as podcatchers due to the popularity of the term podcast used to refer to a web feed containing audio or video. Media aggregators are client software or web-based applications which maintain subscriptions to feeds that contain audio or video media enclosures . They can be used to automatically download media, playback

1387-472: A variety of sources for display in one location. They may additionally process the information after retrieval for individual clients. For instance, Google News gathers and publishes material independent of customers' needs while Awasu is created as an individual RSS tool to control and collect information according to clients' criteria. There are a variety of software applications and components available to collect, format, translate, and republish XML feeds,

1460-406: Is a feature of accredited management standards such as ISO 9000 and ISO 14001 . Some consulting firms specialize in the area of best practice and offer ready-made templates to standardize business process documentation. Sometimes a best practice is not applicable or is inappropriate for a particular organization's needs. A key strategic talent required when applying best practice to organizations

1533-434: Is avoiding the label 'best practice ' " and elaborates further: The allure and seduction of best-practice thinking poisons genuine dialogue about both what we know and the limitations of what we know. ... That modeling of and nurturing deliberative, inclusive, and, yes, humble dialogue may make a greater contribution to societal welfare than the search for generalizable, "best-practice" findings – conclusions that risk becoming

1606-659: Is comparing media coverage of a topic in two countries, which are in (armed) conflict with another: one can easily imagine that news outlets, particularly if state-controlled, will report differently or even contrarily on the same events (for instance, the Russo-Ukrainian War ). While media bias and framing have been subject to manual research for a couple of decades in the social sciences, only recently have automated methods and systems been proposed to analyze and show such differences. Such systems make use of text-features, e.g., news aggregators that extract key phrases that describe

1679-876: Is existing controversy about the lack of culturally appropriate evidence-based best practices and the need to utilize a research-based approach to validate interventions. Some communities have deployed practices over a long period of time that has produced positive outcomes as well as a general community consensus to be successful. The California Reducing Disparities Project (CRDP) is working to identify such practices. CRDP intends to improve access, quality of care, and increase positive outcomes for racial, ethnic and cultural communities. These communities have been identified as (1) African American, (2) Asian/Pacific Islanders, (3) Latinos, (4) lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, questioning, and (5) Native Americans. Strategic Planning Workgroups composed of mental health providers and community members as well as consumers and family members are given

1752-407: Is much more technical than Bardach's, and explores issues of completeness and comparability. He addresses the fact that fully establishing whether a practice is truly a best practice would require assessment in all contexts, while in practice, only example cases are analyzed. Bretschneider also stresses the fact that in order for something to be considered a "best practice" it must be arrived at through

1825-416: Is not best practice it's common practice. Specifically relating to the field of projects based work Dr Darling asserts in the past work practices were pragmatic in order to get achieve the task, recent decades has seen rise in opinions with limited evidence of best. Further rather than best practice perhaps we should strive for evidence based practice. Scott Ambler challenges the assumptions that there can be

1898-542: Is one highly regarded predictor of how well a child will learn to read in the first two years of school. The program takes advantage of the fact that many children, especially ESL students, fail in reading because it is very hard for second language students to understand and pronounce sounds in English. The program is easily duplicated at a relatively low cost because of the straight forward teaching materials, systematic methods and administrative oversight. In September 2013 at

1971-554: Is similar to what the Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering  (FATF) does on a government level.   In addition to its AML-activities, the Wolfsberg Group also serves as a collective action group in the field of anti-corruption . Wolfsberg’s publications are aimed at supervisors and regulators with the intention of highlighting best practices and at other financial institutions who can choose to adopt

2044-451: Is subjective. While some research and evidence must go into determining a practice the "best" it is more helpful to simply determine if a practice has worked exceptionally well and why. Instead of it being "the best", a practice might simply be a smart practice, a good practice, or a promising practice. This allows for a mix and match approach for making recommendations that might encompass pieces of many good practices. Eugene Bardach provides

2117-438: Is the ability to balance the unique qualities of an organization with the practices that it has in common with others. Good operating practice is a strategic management term. More specific uses of the term include good agricultural practices , good manufacturing practice , good laboratory practice , good clinical practice , and good distribution practice. Best practice is a form of program evaluation in public policy. It

2190-399: Is the process of reviewing policy alternatives that have been effective in addressing similar issues in the past and could be applied to a current problem. Determining best practices to address a particular policy problem is a commonly used but little understood tool of analysis because the concept is vague and should therefore be examined with caution. Vagueness stems from the term "best" which

2263-500: Is to educate and train key audiences, supply the right resources, and to provide budget and staff for the program. Eugene Bardach has a list of smart practice candidates in his book A Practical Guide for Policy Analysis , Eightfold Path (policy analysis) . One example is the tutoring program for children in grades 1-3 called Reading One-to-One. The program from Texas includes one on one tutoring with supervision and simple structured instruction in phonemic awareness . Phonemic awareness

2336-656: Is to tailor current practices that are in the world to the specific situation you are looking to solve. Best practices are meant to give insight into existing strategies. The concept of best practice has been employed extensively in environmental management. For example, it has been employed in aquaculture such as recommending low-phosphorus feed ingredients, in forestry to manage riparian buffer zones , in livestock and pasture management to regulate stocking rates, and in particular, best management practices have been important to improving water quality relating to nonpoint source pollution of fertilizers in agriculture as well as

2409-598: The September 11 attacks of 2001, the group changed its focus to include counter terrorist-financing standards. On 22 September 2021 the previously loosely associated group of banks founded an association under Swiss law under the name "The Wolfsberg Group" with registered domicile in Basel, Switzerland. In May 2022, in the context of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine the group suggested banks screen their bank customers for negative news stories, in order to assess their financial crime risk. Dow Jones News Service criticized

2482-416: The operating system or software applications such as a web browser. Social news aggregators collect the most popular stories on the Internet, selected, edited, and proposed by a wide range of people. "In these social news aggregators, users submit news items (referred to as "stories"), communicate with peers through direct messages and comments, and collaboratively select and rate submitted stories to get to

2555-509: The 14-page  Wolfsberg Group Mobile and Internet Payment Services  (MIPS) Paper. In 2017 they published the Wolfsberg Payment Transparency Standards that were updated in 2023. In 2019 they published a guidance on sanctions screening for financial institutions to assess their effectiveness of sanctions screening   and began publishing papers on what effectiveness means in the context of combatting financial crime. In 2023,

This is the first national federally funded effort to develop a Best Practices guide for providers who serve the HIV positive transgender community. The nonprofit/voluntary sector is generally lacking tools for sharing and accessing best practices. Steps are being taken in some parts of the world, for example in the European Union, where

2774-677: The Committee, Senator Carl Levin , called a "rogues gallery" of clients at Citibank's private bank. Mr. Reed turned to the new head of the Private Bank, Shaukat Aziz (later to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan) to take actions to both resolve allegations and ensure against future such events. Mr. Aziz in New York called Frank Vogl, then vice chairman of the board of directors of Transparency International (based in Washington DC), to discuss

Robert Mazur , a former undercover US DEA agent investigating money laundering, called the Wolfsberg group "wolves [...] guarding

2920-557: The Europe 2020 Strategy has as a top priority the exchange of good practices and networking (including the nonprofit sector). An initiative of sharing good practices in terms of human resources (HR) and leadership among European nonprofit organizations was financed by the EU and launched in 2013, called HR Twinning. The platform allows the public to search for good practices and its members the possibility to share their practices, engage in discussions in

2993-567: The Group published updated versions of its CBDDQ/FCCQ questionnaires and guidance, of its ABC guidance and of its Payment Transparency Standards. In 2024, the Group published  updated versions of its RMA, Country Risk papers and a new paper on Auditing for Effectiveness.   The Group is a regular contributor to consultations issued by the Financial Action Task Force, such as the consultation on Non-profit organisations (August 2023),

Later "a major US investment bank, a large bank from Japan, and a Spanish bank" joined for the original eleven member-group. In 2000, the Wolfsberg Group was an informal association of the following eleven global banks: Banco Santander , MUFG , Barclays , Citigroup , Credit Suisse , Deutsche Bank , Goldman Sachs , HSBC , J.P. Morgan Chase , Société Générale and UBS . After

3212-478: The aggregator user can easily unsubscribe from a feed. The feeds are often in the RSS or Atom formats which use Extensible Markup Language ( XML ) to structure pieces of information to be aggregated in a feed reader that displays the information in a user-friendly interface. Before subscribing to a feed, users have to install either "feed reader" or "news aggregator" applications in order to read it. The aggregator provides

The San Francisco Public Health Department conducted The Transgender Best Practices Guide project, a best practices document for cultural and service competency in working with transgender clients within HIV/AIDS service- provision settings. Following an intensive literature search and consumer focus group, a Working Group composed of noted community leaders; activists, professionals, and transgender consumers participated in

3431-471: The beginning, RSS was not a user-friendly gadget and it took some years to spread. "...RDF-based data model that people inside Netscape felt was too complicated for end users." The rise of RSS began in the early 2000s when the New York Times implemented RSS: "One of the first, most popular sites that offered users the option to subscribe to RSS feeds was the New York Times, and the company's implementation of

3504-508: The city is marketing itself as a lab for agricultural technology. This public/private partnership includes a new nonprofit called the Steinbeck Innovation Foundation to increase investment in new technologies to help the area's agricultural industry.

In June 2015, the Wolfsberg Group expanded to thirteen member banks as  Standard Chartered Bank   and Bank of America joined the Group. Since the merger of UBS and Crédit Suisse, the Wolfsberg Group has 12 members: As of 2024, the Wolfsberg Group has issued over 50 resources, including what they call  The Wolfsberg Standards . The first document published in October 2000

3723-432: The end-users computer. By 2011, so-called RSS narrators appeared, which aggregated text-only news feeds, and converted them into audio recordings for offline listening. The syndicated content an aggregator will retrieve and interpret is usually supplied in the form of RSS or other XML -formatted data, such as RDF /XML or Atom . RSS began in 1999 "when it was first introduced by Internet browser pioneer Netscape ". In

3796-495: The following theoretical framework ( eightfold path for best practices) in his book A Practical Guide for Policy Analysis , in 2011: Excessive optimism about the expected impact of untested smart practices is a common critique. If a current practice is known to be ineffective, implementing a promising alternative after weighing the alternatives may be worth the risk. Bretschneider et al. offers an alternate methodology for Best Practices research in 2005. Bretschneider's approach

3869-429: The format was revered as the 'tipping point' that cemented RSS's position as a de facto standard." "In 2005, major players in the web browser market started integrating the technology directly into their products, including Microsoft's Internet Explorer , Mozilla's Firefox and Apple's Safari ." As of 2015, according to BuiltWith.com, there were 20,516,036 live websites using RSS. Web aggregators gather material from

Nearly every industry and professional discipline discusses best practices. Areas of note include information technology development (such as new software,) construction, transportation, business management, sustainable development and various aspects of project management . Best practices also occur in healthcare to deliver high-quality care that promotes best outcomes. Best practices are used within business areas including sales , manufacturing , teaching , computer programming , road construction , health care , insurance , telecommunication and public policy . There are some criticisms of

4015-489: The identification and adoption of best practice for controlling salinity. However, in the context of complex environmental problems such as dryland salinity, there are significant challenges in defining what is best in any given context. Best management practice for complex problems is context specific and often contested against a background of imperfect knowledge. In these contexts, it is more useful to think of best management practice as an adaptive learning process rather than

4088-406: The intervention to scale and generalizing the results to diverse populations and settings. Since evidence of effectiveness, the potential for taking the intervention to scale and generalizing the results to other populations and settings are key factors for best practices, the manner in which a method or intervention becomes a best practice can take some time and effort. The table below demonstrates

4161-415: The latest rigid orthodoxies even as they are becoming outdated anyway. Quinn proposes avoiding asking or entertaining the question "Which is best?" and says that more nuanced questions related to conditions and contexts should be asked instead. He further suggests terms which "tend less toward overgeneralization" like better practices, effective practices, or promising practices . Eric Darling states it

4234-448: The literature suggests that there is some common use of and criteria for identifying best practices. For example, a general working definition used by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in referring to a promising practice is defined as one with at least preliminary evidence of effectiveness in small-scale interventions or for which there is potential for generating data that will be useful for making decisions about taking

4380-484: The new or updated information from many sites. Aggregators reduce the time and effort needed to regularly check websites for updates, creating a unique information space or personal newspaper . Once subscribed to a feed, an aggregator is able to check for new content at user-determined intervals and retrieve the update. The content is sometimes described as being pulled to the subscriber, as opposed to pushed with email or IM. Unlike recipients of some push information,

4453-1126: The older Yahoo News, as of 2005, used a combination of automated news crawlers and human editors. Web-based feeds readers allow users to find a web feed on the internet and add it to their feed reader. These are meant for personal use and are hosted on remote servers. Because the application is available via the web, it can be accessed anywhere by a user with an internet connection. There are even more specified web-based RSS readers. More advanced methods of aggregating feeds are provided via Ajax coding techniques and XML components called web widgets . Ranging from full-fledged applications to small fragments of source code that can be integrated into larger programs, they allow users to aggregate OPML files, email services, documents, or feeds into one interface. Many customizable homepage and portal implementations provide such functionality. In addition to aggregator services mainly for individual use, there are web applications that can be used to aggregate several blogs into one. One such variety—called planet sites—are used by online communities to aggregate community blogs in

4526-441: The problems with news aggregators is that the volume of articles can sometimes be overwhelming, especially when the user has many web feed subscriptions. As a solution, many feed readers allow users to tag each feed with one or more keywords which can be used to sort and filter the available articles into easily navigable categories. Another option is to import the user's Attention Profile to filter items based on their relevance to

4599-707: The process for a promising practice to achieve the status of research-validated best practice. The National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP) is a searchable online registry of interventions supporting substance abuse prevention and mental health treatment that has been reviewed and rated by independent reviewers. NREPP accepts submissions for interventions that meet minimum requirements to be considered for review. Minimum requirements include (1) demonstration of one or more positive outcomes among individuals, communities, or populations; (2) evidence of these outcomes has been demonstrated in at least one study using an experimental or quasi-experimental design; (3)

4672-442: The results of these studies have been published in a peer-reviewed journal or other professional publication, or documented in a comprehensive evaluation report; and (4) implementation materials, training and support resources, and quality assurance procedures have been developed and are ready for use by the public. NREPP is not an exhaustive list of interventions and inclusion in the registry does not constitute an endorsement. There

More information is also available on its LinkedIn page.   Best practice A best practice is a method or technique that has been generally accepted as superior to alternatives because it tends to produce superior results. Best practices are used to achieve quality as an alternative to mandatory standards. Best practices can be based on self-assessment or benchmarking . Best practice

4891-549: The task of identifying new approaches toward reducing disparities. The five Strategic Planning Workgroups work to identify new service delivery approaches defined by multicultural communities for multicultural communities using community-defined evidence to improve outcomes and reduce disparities. Community- defined evidence is defined as "a set of practices that communities have used and determined to yield positive results as determined by community consensus over time and which may or may not have been measured empirically but have reached

4964-423: The term "best practice". Eugene Bardach claims that the work necessary to deem a practice the "best" is rarely done. Most of the time, one will find "good" practices or "smart" practices that offer insight into solutions that may or may not work for a given situation. Michael Quinn Patton jokes in his book about qualitative research and evaluation methods "the only best practice in which I have complete confidence

5037-602: The then chief risk officer, Hans-Peter Bauer of UBS in Switzerland. A meeting was convened at UBS's training center at Schloss Wolfsberg, near Ermatingen in Switzerland. The venue provided the name for the group. Work proceeded by representatives of the banks and by Jermyn Brooks, a senior executive at Transparency International, which resulted in the first formulation of the Wolfsberg AML Principles for Private Banking. There were originally eight banks, and except for

5110-485: The use of the terms "promising practices", "best practices", and "evidence-based practices" is common and often confusing as there is not a general consensus on what constitutes promising practices or best practices. In this context, the use of the terms "best practices" and "evidence-based practices" are often used interchangeably. Evidence-based practices are methods or techniques that have documented outcomes and ability to replicate as key factors. Despite these challenges,

Broadcatching is a mechanism that automatically downloads BitTorrent files advertised through RSS feeds. Several BitTorrent client software applications such as Azureus and μTorrent have added the ability to broadcatch torrents of distributed multimedia through the aggregation of web feeds. One of

5256-534: The user's interests. Some bloggers predicted the death of RSS when Google Reader was shut down. Later, however, RSS was considered more of a success as an appealing way to obtain information. "Feedly, likely the most popular RSS reader today, has gone from around 5,000 paid subscribers in 2013 to around 50,000 paid subscribers in early 2015 – that's a 900% increase for Feedly in two years." Customers use RSS to get information more easily while businesses take advantage of being able to spread announcements. "RSS serves as
