The FATF has requested that all countries take
the necessary steps to bring their national systems for combating
money laundering and terrorist financing into compliance with the
new FATF Recommendations, and to effectively implement these
measures. The Forty Recommendations document can be found at
http://www1.oecd.org/fatf/pdf/40Recs-2003_en.pdf
The revised Forty
Recommendations now apply not only to money laundering but also to
terrorist financing, and when combined with the Eight Special
Recommendations on Terrorist Financing (http://www1.oecd.org/fatf/SRecsTF_en.htm)
provide an enhanced, comprehensive and consistent framework of
measures for combating money laundering and terrorist financing.
