The FATF has updated its Guidance on Financial Inclusion and Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Measures to support countries and the private sector in bringing more people into the formal financial sector through proportionate, risk-based approaches to tackling illicit finance.
The new guidance highlights that financial inclusion and the fight against financial crime are mutually supportive. Enhanced financial sector transparency and integrity increases the reach and effectiveness of AML/CFT/CPF measures that help keep criminals out of the financial system and facilitate law enforcement investigations.
The new guidance provides best practices and practical examples of how policymakers, regulators, and others have implemented the risk-based approach.
