  • FATF publishes updated guidance on financial inclusion and AML/CFT measures

    22 June 2025
    The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has published updated guidance accompanied by a press release, on financial inclusion and anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing measures (AML/CFT). The update follows the enhancement of Recommendation 1 of the FATF Standards earlier this year, to emphasise the need for a risk-based approach to AML/CFT controls in a manner that promotes global financial inclusion, without undermining the effectiveness of the measures for the purpose of combatting crime. The guidance now includes practical case studies and sets out ways that national regulators and firms can leverage a risk-based approach to foster financial inclusion while safeguarding financial integrity. Examples of best practice in applying the risk-based approach are included in an Annex to the report.
