More information about:  

  • FATF Recommendations The FATF Recommendations are the internationally endorsed global standards against money laundering and terrorist financing: they increase transparency and enable countries to successfully take action against illicit use of their financial system.
  • Mutual Evaluations The FATF conducts peer reviews of each member on an ongoing basis to assess levels of implementation of the FATF Recommendations, providing an in-depth description and analysis of each country’s system for preventing criminal abuse of the financial system

More information about:  

  • Proliferation financing The FATF has responded to the threat of illicit proliferation of weapons of mass destruction by updating its standards to include measures on the implementation of targeted financial sanctions related to proliferation.

More information about:  

  • Terrorist Financing The FATF plays a central role in global efforts to combat terrorist financing, through its role in setting global standards to combat terrorist financing, assisting jurisdictions in implementing financial provisions of the United Nations Security Council resolutions on terrorism, and evaluating countries’ ability to prevent, detect, investigate and prosecute the financing of terrorism.

More information about:  

  • Virtual Assets The FATF has been closely monitoring developments in the cryptosphere and has issued global, binding standards to prevent the misuse of virtual assets for money laundering and terrorist financing.

More information about:  

  • Guidance on Risk-Based Supervision This Guidance on risk-based supervision will help supervisors address the full spectrum of risks and focus resources where the risks are highest. The risk-based approach will make supervisors' efforts to detect and prevent the financial flows that fuel crime and terrorism more effective.
  • Webinar on Risk-Based Supervision FATF organised a webinar with key speakers from around the world, to discuss the challenges of effective supervision.

More information about:

  • Terrorist Financing Risk Assessment Guidance This guidance aims to assist practitioners, and particularly those in lower capacity countries, in assessing terrorist financing risk, by providing good approaches, relevant information sources and practical examples based on country experience.
  • National money laundering and terrorist financing risk assessment The 2012 FATF Recommendations require that countries identify, assess and understand the money laundering and terrorist financing risks facing them and adapt their AML/CFT system accordingly. The FATF has adopted a new guidance which is intended to assist in the conduct of risk assessment at the country or national level. Once ML/TF risks are properly understood, country authorities may apply AML/CFT measures in a way that ensures they are commensurate with those risks – i.e. the risk-based approach (RBA) – which is central to the FATF standards as is set out in Recommendation 1.
  • Money laundering and terrorist financing risks The effectiveness of measures to combat money laundering and terrorist financing depend on a country's assessment and understanding of the risks it is exposed to, and the extent to which it has mitigated these risks. This page includes examples of published national risk assessments NRAs and regional risk assessments.

More information about:

  • Beneficial Ownership The FATF has made it a priority to stop criminals from laundering their dirty money or hiding illegal activities through complex corporate structures or legal persons.
