This FATF guidance sets out the obstacles related to effective exchange of information between financial institutions, articulates the requirements of the FATF Recommendations in this context and aims to improve effective information sharing.
This Guidance describes the features of effective supervision by regulators and supervisors, and also clarifies the interplay with the role of law enforcement agencies.
The FATF developed this Guidance focusing on the points of intersection that provide gateways to the regulated financial system, in particular convertible virtual currency exchangers, and will continue to monitor developments in VCPPS, emerging risks and mitigating factors to update this Guidance, to include - where appropriate - emerging best practices to address regulatory issues arising in respect of ML/TF risks associated with VCPPS.
The FATF Best Practices Paper is aimed at preventing the misuse of NPOs for the financing of terrorism while, at the same time, respecting legitimate actions of NPOs.

This Guidance helps in the design and implementation of a risk-based approach for the banking sector, taking into account national risk assessments and the national legal and regulatory frameworks, as well as helps develop a common understanding of the risk-based approach between supervisory authorities and banks.
This Best Practices Paper aims to provide policy makers and practitioners with guidance and best practices on how AML/CFT measures can be used to combat corruption.
This updated best practices paper reflects the latest relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs) in response to challenges faced by countries in the implementation of Recommendation 6, which requires countries to implement the targeted financial sanctions regimes to comply with UNSCRs relating to the prevention and suppression of terrorism and terrorist financing, such as UNSCR 1267(1999) and its successor resolutions, and UNSCR 1373(2001).
The new guidance assists countries in implementing not only targeted financial sanctions, but also other measures, such as activity-based financial prohibitions and vigilance measures.
