The six chapters cover:

  • Understanding Terrorist Financing Risk;
  • The Role of the Private Sector in Detecting and Disrupting Terrorist Financing Activities;
  • The Production and Use of Financial Intelligence to Counter Terrorism and Terrorist Financing;
  • Investigating, Prosecuting, and Sanctioning Terrorist Financiers;
  • Terrorism-Related Targeted Financial Sanctions; and
  • International Cooperation in Combating the Financing of Terrorism.

Firms can read the publication to identify the good practices recommended for adoption in strengthening their CFT frameworks.
