FATF ACADEMY

In July 2020, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) launched the first FATF e-learning platform to facilitate access to the AML/CFT/CPF targeted e-learning material to governmental officials across the Global Network. This included thematic e-learning courses, tests, webinars and other material.

Due to a significant increase in the number of users and to offer a better learning experience, the platform has been modernised with improved design, language and other interactive features. Transition to the new FATF Academy was completed in April 2025.
