The Financial Action Task Force (FATF)
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), or Grupo de Ação Financeira Internacional in Portuguese and Spanish, is an inter-governmental organization founded in 1989 on the initiative of the G7 to develop policies to combat money laundering. Its mandate has since expanded to include combating terrorist financing and the financing of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
FATF’s primary objective is to set international standards and promote the effective implementation of legal, regulatory, and operational measures for combating money laundering, terrorist financing and other related threats to the integrity of the international financial system. It monitors countries’ progress in implementing these standards, identifies vulnerabilities, and promotes best practices.
The core of FATF’s work lies in the development and revision of the “FATF Recommendations,” often referred to as the “40 Recommendations” (plus nine special recommendations on terrorist financing, now integrated). These recommendations provide a comprehensive framework of measures that countries should implement to combat money laundering and terrorist financing. They cover a wide range of areas, including:
- Criminalization of money laundering and terrorist financing
- Customer due diligence and record-keeping requirements for financial institutions
- Measures to prevent the misuse of legal persons and arrangements
- International cooperation
FATF employs a rigorous peer review process to assess countries’ compliance with the FATF Recommendations. This process involves on-site evaluations by teams of experts from other member countries. Based on these evaluations, FATF identifies jurisdictions with strategic deficiencies in their anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) regimes. These jurisdictions are then subject to enhanced monitoring or, in more severe cases, may be placed on the “FATF blacklist” (officially called the “list of jurisdictions subject to increased monitoring”) or subjected to sanctions.
Being placed on the FATF grey list or blacklist can have significant consequences for a country, including reputational damage, reduced access to international financial markets, and increased scrutiny from financial institutions. Consequently, countries have a strong incentive to comply with the FATF Recommendations and avoid being identified as high-risk jurisdictions.
FATF’s work is crucial for protecting the integrity of the global financial system and combating financial crime. By setting international standards, monitoring compliance, and promoting cooperation, FATF plays a vital role in preventing criminals and terrorists from using the financial system to launder the proceeds of their crimes or finance their activities. The organization continues to evolve its approach to address emerging threats, such as the misuse of virtual assets and the increasing complexity of financial transactions.
