FATF Recommandations

The FATF Recommendations set out a comprehensive and consistent framework of measures which countries should implement in order to combat money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as the financing of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Countries have legal, administrative and operational frameworks and different financial systems, and so cannot all take identical measures to counter these threats.

The FATF Recommendations, therefore, set an International Standard, which countries should implement through measures adapted to their particular circumstances. The FATF rules include both its Recommendations and Interpretative Notes, in conjunction with the definitions included in the Glossary.
