Meeting FATF Standards

Members of the FATF and of FATF-style regional bodies (FSRBs) are strongly committed to the discipline of multilateral peer review. The mutual evaluation programme is the primary instrument by which the FATF and FSRBs monitor progress made by member governments in implementing the FATF Recommendations. 

The FATF also has a policy for dealing with jurisdictions with very weak AML/CFT systems which pose a risk to the international financial system (see the FATF statements of concern - Press Releases - and Non Cooperative Countries and Territories).
