Presidency & Secretariat

The Presidency is a one-year position held by a high-level government official from one of the 32 juridictions of the FATF. The current President, Sir James Sassoon, of the United Kingdom, was a senior official in the UK's Treasury Department. He has played a key role as a champion of the UK’s financial and business services firms and markets internationally.

The FATF Secretariat supports the work of the Task Force and the President.  Although the FATF Secretariat is housed at the OECD headquarters in Paris, France, the FATF is an independent international body.
