FATF-Style Regional Bodies

A number of FATF-style regional bodies exist to bring together countries / jurisdictions to implement the agreed international standards for anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT). The international standards for AML/CFT are set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) through its 40 Recommendations on Money Laundering and 9 Special Recommendations on Terrorist Financing. These are often referred to as the FATF 40 + 9 Recommendations.

Eight regions have established FATF-style regional bodies. Each of these bodies has an equivalent role in supporting implementation of the international standards for AML/CFT and assessing compliance with the international standards for AML/CFT through Mutual Evaluations.

FATF-Style Regional Bodies are referred to by the abbreviation FSRB.

The eight FATF-style regional bodies are:

APG - Asia/Pacific Group on Money Laundering [http://www.apgml.org] - covers the Asia/Pacific region
