What is FATF and its Public Statement on Jurisdictions with AML/CFT Deficiencies?

The Financial Action Task Force, known as FATF, is an inter-governmental body that develops and promotes policies to combat money-laundering. FATF publishes public statements on jurisdictions with strategic anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism deficiencies (AML/CFT). Members should consult these public statements, located at www.fatf-gafi.org to determine whether a customer is from one of these jurisdictions and, if so, the Member must determine whether, and what, additional due diligence is necessary for that customer.
