The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is the global standard setting body for anti-money laundering and combating the financing of terrorism (AML/CFT). The Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) is an organisation of twenty-nine jurisdictions of the Caribbean Basin Region, which have agreed to implement the FATF Recommendations which are international standards for AML/CFT. In order to protect the international financial system from money laundering and financing of terrorism (ML/FT) risks and to encourage greater compliance with the AML/CFT standards, the FATF and CFATF issue public statements which identify jurisdictions that have strategic deficiencies and work with them to address those deficiencies that pose a risk to the international financial system. Registrants are reminded to apply appropriate levels of scrutiny and due diligence when transacting business with persons identified in, or connected to jurisdictions identified in these statements.
