Updates on FATF List
The Department of Treasury of United States has sub-department named FinCEN, which deals with the issue of financial crimes. And this week, they have updated the list of Financial Action Task Force (FATF).
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) came into action since 2000. It is the global body for the combination of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Countering the financing of terrorism.
Now, the financial institutions will have to follow these two rules while doing their businesses:
Jurisdictions that are subject to the FATF’s call for countermeasures or are subject to EDD due to their AML/CFT deficiencies
Jurisdictions identified by the FATF as having AML/CFT deficiencies
Follow the link for detailed information:
EDD: Enhanced Due Diligence
AML: Anti-Money Laundering
CFT: Countering the Financing of Terrorism
