The release of the paper comes amidst an increased focus on PF risks from bodies including the UN and Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

The paper covers areas including:

➡️ Regulatory frameworks: Key frameworks, definitions, and standards on PF from the UK, US, EU, UN, and FATF;

➡️ Risk assessments: PF risk assessments and key risk characteristics such as cross-border transactions, exploitation of jurisdictions with limited disclosure requirements, technology used, and structural complexity used to obfuscate beneficial ownership; and

➡️ Risk management: Challenges and approaches for financial institutions (FIs) to manage PF risks including specific KYC/CDD measures, screening lists used, and transaction monitoring controls.

✅ Firms can review the UK Finance paper in ensuring their CPF control frameworks are robust and reflect the recommendations outlined.
