FATF 2025: Money Laundering Risk Assessment Toolkit
Description
The FATF (Financial Action Task Force) Toolkit provides a comprehensive framework for conducting National Risk Assessments (NRAs) on money laundering (ML), terrorist financing (TF), and proliferation financing (PF). It includes practical quick guides for evaluating complex areas such as corruption, virtual assets (VAs) and virtual asset service providers (VASPs), legal persons and arrangements, and the informal economy. The toolkit also features cross-country comparisons of ML threats, classifications of vulnerabilities, and access to NRA tools and global data sources from organisations like the World Bank, IMF, and Council of Europe. A key theme is the need to tailor risk assessments to each country’s unique context, ensuring a nuanced understanding of threats. Importantly, the guidance emphasises not only mitigating financial crime risks but also considering the wider social and environmental impacts of these crimes, promoting a more holistic approach to financial integrity.
